The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the following drafts: FWD 08'-11.5", AFT 15'- 11.5". Upon completion of loading and bunkering the items shown in table ST-0153 below will be on board. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the minimum GM required to meet a one compartment standard.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1.80 feet.
To determine the minimum GM (metacentric height) required to meet a one compartment standard, the Stability Data Reference Book's white pages are used. The key information provided is the ship's drafts (forward and aft) and the loading condition. Using this data and the reference book, the minimum GM required to satisfy the one compartment standard can be calculated.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the appropriate minimum GM needed to meet the given criteria. Option A (2.00 feet) and B (2.20 feet) are too high, while option D (1.65 feet) is too low to satisfy the one compartment standard based on the provided ship characteristics and loading condition.
