70% to pass

A seaman lost his continuous discharge book during the voyage. Upon discharge from Articles, he should be issued a _______________.

A Certificate of Discharge with the white copy forwarded to the Commandant
B letter of service on company letterhead signed and sealed by the master
C Mutual Release (CG-2119
D D
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Certificate of Discharge with the white copy forwarded to the Commandant. When a seaman loses their continuous discharge book during a voyage, upon discharge from Articles, they should be issued a Certificate of Discharge. This is the standard document issued in such cases, as outlined in regulations. The white copy of this certificate must then be forwarded to the Commandant of the US Coast Guard, as part of the required administrative procedures. The other options are incorrect because: B) a letter of service is not the standard document issued, C) a Mutual Release (CG-2119) is a different form used for a different purpose, and D) is not a valid answer choice.
