Question 4294Deck General70% to pass
Starboard ballast pump #1 on the DEEP DRILLER has failed. To deballast from tank C2SA using starboard ballast pump #2, it is necessary to open the manual valve and which motor driven valves?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 15, 34, 35, 36, 46, 48.
To deballast from tank C2SA using starboard ballast pump #2, the following valves need to be opened:
- Valve #15 to allow water to flow from tank C2SA
- Valves #34, 35, 36 to direct the flow through the starboard ballast system
- Valve #46 to allow the water to be discharged overboard
- Valve #48 to enable the starboard ballast pump #2 to operate
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not include the complete set of valves necessary to successfully deballast from tank C2SA using the starboard ballast pump #2. This knowledge is essential for passing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examination on vessel systems and operations.
