Each distress signal and self-activated smoke signal... - USCG Deck Safety

Each distress signal and self-activated smoke signal must be replaced not later than the marked date of expiration, or not more than how many months from the date of manufacture?

A 48 months

B 42 months

C 36 months

D 30 months

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 42 months. According to the regulations governing the U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, each distress signal and self-activated smoke signal must be replaced not later than the marked date of expiration, or not more than 42 months from the date of manufacture. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 160.021-5(b) for distress signals and Section 160.022-5(b) for self-activated smoke signals. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement of 42 months. Options A, C, and D, which suggest 48, 36, and 30 months, respectively, are not the correct timeframe specified in the regulations.
