70% to passNGA (NIMA) charts are adopting the metric system. In order to change a charted depth in meters to feet you may use the conversion table found _______________.
The correct answer is D) All of the above. The conversion table for changing charted depths from meters to feet can be found in multiple sources, including: 1) Bowditch - The American Practical Navigator, which is a comprehensive reference guide for navigation. 2) On the chart itself, as many charts will include a conversion scale or table. 3) In the Light List, which is a reference publication containing information on navigational aids like lighthouses, buoys, and beacons. All of these sources provide the necessary information to convert between metric and imperial depth measurements, making D the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they only list one of the possible sources for the conversion table, when in reality it can be found in multiple references used by mariners.
