Diagram for USCG Deck General: What does item "G" refer to in illustration D045DG of a 30-ton pedestal crane?
A Turntable
B Pedestal
C Mast
D Pillar
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Turntable. In the illustration D045DG of a 30-ton pedestal crane, item "G" refers to the turntable. The turntable is the rotating platform that the mast and boom are mounted on, allowing the crane to swivel and rotate. This is a key component of a pedestal crane design, enabling the crane to reach different areas without having to reposition the entire unit. The other answer choices are incorrect because the pedestal is the vertical support column (B), the mast is the vertical tower structure (C), and the pillar is another term for the pedestal (D). The turntable is the specific item identified as "G" in this crane illustration.
