Question 223 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) two years. This is the correct answer because under the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, specifically 47 CFR 80.409(f), radiotelephone station logs must be retained for a minimum of two years. This regulation ensures that a record of the use of the radiotelephone is maintained for a sufficient period to allow for inspection and verification of compliance with applicable rules and regulations. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement of two years. Six months (A) and one year (B) are too short, while thirty months (D) exceeds the two-year minimum.
