Which category of able seaman is not authorized to be counted as an able seaman on a seagoing tug of over 100 gross tons?

A Unlimited
B Limited
C Special
D Special (OSV)
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Special (OSV). The reason is that special (OSV) able seamen are not authorized to be counted as able seamen on seagoing tugs over 100 gross tons. This is because the special (OSV) able seaman endorsement is specifically for offshore supply vessels (OSVs), not for seagoing tugs. The other categories of able seamen - unlimited, limited, and special - are authorized to be counted as able seamen on seagoing tugs over 100 gross tons, as they have the more general able seaman qualifications.
