The SS AMERICAN MARINER will sail with the load shown in table ST-0006 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) FWD 23'-03", AFT 27'-00".
To determine the drafts, you need to use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book, which provide guidance on how to calculate drafts based on the given load condition. The key information needed is the displacement and longitudinal center of gravity (LCG) from the load condition table ST-0006. With this data, you can refer to the white pages to find the corresponding drafts.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the drafts calculated using the information provided in the load condition table and the guidance in The Stability Data Reference Book.
