Question 2663 Deck General

The correct answer is D) 9 B-II extinguishers. According to the regulations, an uninspected vessel over 200 gross tons operating on the Great Lakes is required to carry 3 B-II fire extinguishers per 2,000 BHP. Since the tug in question is 6,000 BHP and 199 GT, it must carry 9 B-II extinguishers (3 extinguishers per 2,000 BHP, for a total of 9 extinguishers). The other options are incorrect because they do not account for the vessel's size and horsepower, which determine the required number of extinguishers under the regulations.
