Question 2381Deck Safety70% to pass
The SS AMERICAN MARINER has drafts of: FWD 22'-03", AFT 26'-05". Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts if you ballast the forepeak with 77 tons of seawater.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) FWD 22'-10.5", AFT 26'-00.4".
To determine the new drafts, we need to use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book, which provide tables to calculate the changes in draft due to adding or removing weights. By adding 77 tons of seawater to the forepeak, the forward draft increases, and the aft draft decreases, resulting in the drafts provided in answer choice A.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft based on the information provided and the use of the Stability Data Reference Book.
