Question 2700 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 3 B-II fire extinguishers must be in the machinery space of a 75-foot long fishing vessel propelled by engines with 2200 brake horsepower. According to the regulations in 46 CFR 28.160, a fishing vessel of this size and engine power must have a minimum of 3 B-II fire extinguishers in the machinery space. The regulations specify the required number of fire extinguishers based on the vessel's length and total brake horsepower, and a 75-foot vessel with 2200 brake horsepower falls under the requirement for 3 B-II extinguishers. The other options are incorrect because A) 5 is too many, B) 4 is too many, and D) 2 is too few for a vessel of this size and power.
