Question 2988 Deck General

The correct answer is D) The name of the new man is added to the articles but not to the Certified Crew List. When a crew member is replaced in a U.S. port after foreign articles have been signed, and the ship proceeds foreign, the new crew member's name is added to the articles but not to the Certified Crew List. This is because the Certified Crew List is an official document maintained by the U.S. Consul, and changes can only be made by the Consul. The articles, on the other hand, are the private contract between the ship's master and the crew, and the master can make changes to them as needed. The other options are incorrect because A) the master cannot remove the replaced man's name from the articles, B) the U.S. Consul does not remove the replaced man's name from the Certified Crew List, and C) the U.S. Consul does not add the new man's name to the Certified Crew List in this situation.
