Where should Lifeboat hatchets be kept?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) secured at each end of the boat with a lanyard.
According to Coast Guard regulations, lifeboat hatchets must be secured at each end of the lifeboat with a lanyard. This ensures the hatchets are readily accessible in an emergency, as they may be needed to cut away any obstructions or debris blocking the lifeboat's launch or movement. Keeping the hatchets in a locker (A), next to the coxswain (B), or in an emergency locker on the ship (D) would make them less immediately available when needed in a lifeboat emergency situation.
