Question 3149Deck General70% to pass
You are signing on your crew. Which is NOT authorized?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A man presenting his Chief Mate endorsement to sign on as able seaman.
This is because the Chief Mate endorsement qualifies the holder to serve as the second-in-command on a vessel, not as an able seaman. The other options are all valid, as the endorsements presented match the positions being signed on for - an MMC endorsed "QMED - any rating" can sign on as an Electrician, an MMC endorsed as "Able Seaman" can sign on as Bosun, and an MMC endorsed "Steward's Department (F.H.)" can sign on as Chief Cook.
