What must be carried out in order to manually launch an inflatable liferaft not designed for float-free operation?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Depress the hydrostatic release button.
Inflatable liferafts not designed for float-free operation must be manually launched by depressing the hydrostatic release button. This initiates the inflation process and allows the liferaft to deploy. The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) Simply breaking the weak link is not sufficient to launch the liferaft, as the hydrostatic release button must still be depressed.
B) Cutting the container securing straps alone is also not enough to launch the liferaft.
C) Merely attaching the weak link to the vessel does not automatically launch the liferaft.
