Question 3416 Deck General

The correct answer is D) stripped back to the rig and secured. When an anchor is deployed, the permanent chain chaser is a short length of chain or line that is stripped back and secured to the rig or vessel after the anchor has been let out. This is done to prevent the chain chaser from fouling the anchor chain or getting caught on the bottom. The other answer choices are incorrect because the chain chaser is not connected to a buoy (A or C) and it is not removed from the anchor chain (B) - it is simply secured back on the vessel.
