Diagram for USCG Deck Safety: In illustration D033DG below, which letter indicates the garboard strake?
A A
B B
C G
D H
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D. The garboard strake is the first planking or plate connected to the keel of a vessel. In the illustration D033DG, the letter H indicates the garboard strake. This is in accordance with the standard labeling conventions used in vessel construction diagrams. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A and B do not correspond to the garboard strake, and G refers to the gunwale, which is the upper edge of the vessel's side.
