Question 3559 Deck General

The correct answer is A) at the anchor end of the line. The chain is deployed at the anchor end of the combination chain and wire rope mooring line in order to provide weight and stability at the anchor end of the line. This helps to hold the anchor in place and prevents the anchor from being dislodged or dragged. The weight of the chain helps to keep the line taut and properly positioned on the seafloor. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) placing the chain at the wildcat end would not provide the necessary weight and stability at the anchor; C) placing the chain midway would not properly anchor the line; and D) routing the chain through the anchor buoy would not contribute to anchoring the line.
