70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER will sail with the load shown in table ST-0061 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts.

A FWD 20'-11", AFT 26'-09"
B FWD 20'-09", AFT 26'-11"
C FWD 21'-07", AFT 26'-03"
D FWD 22'-02", AFT 25'-08"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) FWD 20'-11", AFT 26'-09". To determine the drafts, you need to use the stability data provided in the table ST-0061 and the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book. The white pages contain the load line tables that allow you to find the drafts based on the vessel's displacement and longitudinal center of gravity (LCG). The other options are incorrect because they do not match the drafts calculated using the provided stability data and load line tables. For example, option B has the forward draft 2 inches too short and the aft draft 2 inches too long, while options C and D have significantly different drafts that do not align with the given information.
