A seaman about to be discharged has a Continuous Discharge Book. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The record of entry in the book must be submitted to the Coast Guard.
When a seaman is discharged, the record of their service and discharge must be submitted to the U.S. Coast Guard. The Continuous Discharge Book serves as the official record of the seaman's employment, and this record must be provided to the Coast Guard as part of the discharge process.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) A Certificate of Discharge Form is not required to be attached to the Continuous Discharge Book.
C) The record of discharge would be made in the Continuous Discharge Book, not the Official Logbook, if the vessel was on coastwise articles.
D) While an entry should be made in the Continuous Discharge Book, a separate Certificate of Discharge Form is not required to be issued to the seaman.
