Question 1822 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 4 inches in height. According to the regulations set forth by the United States Coast Guard, the name of a documented vessel must be marked on a clearly visible exterior area of both sides of the bow and on the stern in block letters not less than 4 inches in height. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 67.123, which outlines the proper marking and identification of documented vessels. The other options are incorrect because 6 inches (A) and 5 inches (B) are larger than the required 4-inch minimum, while 3 inches (D) is smaller than the regulatory standard.
