An inflatable life raft can be launched by _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) throwing the entire container overboard and then pulling on the operating cord to inflate the raft.
This is the correct method for launching an inflatable life raft. The life raft is designed to be thrown overboard as a complete unit, and then the operating cord is pulled to automatically inflate the raft. This allows the raft to deploy quickly and easily without the need to break any weak links or remove securing straps.
The other options are incorrect because: A) breaking the weak link on the painter could damage the raft, B) removing the securing straps would require additional steps before deployment, and D) the float-free method is for EPIRBs, not life rafts.
