On the DEEP DRILLER, to pump bilge water out of the starboard pump room using both bilge pumps, it is necessary to open valves _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 39, 40, 41, and 42.
To pump bilge water out of the starboard pump room using both bilge pumps on the DEEP DRILLER, it is necessary to open valves 39, 40, 41, and 42. These valves are the ones that connect the bilge pump suction lines to the starboard pump room, allowing the bilge water to be pumped out.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) Valves 39 and 40 alone would not be sufficient to use both bilge pumps.
B) Valves 41 and 42 alone would not be sufficient to use both bilge pumps.
C) Opening all 6 valves (39, 40, 41, 42, 26, and 28) is unnecessary for this task.
