Question 4593 Deck General

The correct answer is C) pump from 8S. When a ship suffers major damage resulting in flooding, the primary objective is to maintain the ship's stability and prevent further loss of buoyancy. In this scenario, with flooding in tank C3S, the best countermeasure is to pump from the adjacent tank 8S. This helps to counteract the free surface effect and restore the ship's stability, which is crucial in such emergency situations. The other options are not recommended. Counterfloodingdotank 1P (option A) could further exacerbate the stability issues. Pumping from C3S (option B) would not address the free surface effect, and pumping from 10S (option D) may not be as effective in restoring stability compared to pumping from the adjacent 8S tank.
