The SS AMERICAN MARINER has drafts of: FWD 13'-05", AFT 21'-03". Use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts if you ballast the forepeak with 88 tons of seawater.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) FWD 14'-02.4", AFT 20'-08.7".
To determine the drafts after ballasting the forepeak with 88 tons of seawater, we need to use the white pages of the Stability Data Reference Book. This book provides guidance on how changes in weight and ballast affect a vessel's drafts. By adding 88 tons of seawater to the forepeak, the forward draft increases and the aft draft decreases, which results in the drafts of FWD 14'-02.4" and AFT 20'-08.7".
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the changes in draft caused by the additional 88 tons of ballast in the forepeak.
