Question 4388 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 145.33 feet. This is the correct answer because the height of the transverse metacenter is a key stability parameter for a vessel, and it can be calculated using the vessel's displacement and other geometric properties. The height of 145.33 feet indicates that the vessel has adequate transverse stability at the given displacement of 13,011 kips. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the typical range of transverse metacenter heights for a vessel of this size and displacement. Options A and C are significantly lower or higher than the expected value, indicating either instability or unrealistic assumptions in the calculations.
