Question 4376 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 680,914 ft-long tons. The lightweight vertical moments for the DEEP DRILLER are 680,914 ft-long tons. This value represents the vessel's vertical center of gravity in relation to its overall weight and distribution, which is an important factor considered in Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other options are incorrect because B) -5,937 ft-long tons and C) -6,716 ft-long tons represent negative values, which would not accurately reflect the positive vertical center of gravity of the vessel. Option D) 9,733 ft-long tons is also incorrect, as it does not match the provided value for the DEEP DRILLER.
