Question 1333 Deck Safety
70% to passThe survival capsule is manufactured with fire retardant _______________.
A
steel
B
marine plywood
C
fiberglass
D
foam
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) fiberglass. Survival capsules used by the US Coast Guard are typically manufactured with fiberglass, as this material is highly fire-retardant and resistant to damage from the elements. Fiberglass is a lightweight, durable composite material that can withstand the harsh conditions encountered at sea, making it the preferred choice for the construction of survival capsules. The other options, such as steel, marine plywood, and foam, are not commonly used for survival capsule construction, as they do not provide the same level of fire resistance and durability required for this application.
