The SS AMERICAN MARINER is ready to sail with the load shown in table ST-0054 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the available GM.

A Available GM 6.8 ft
B Available GM 5.4 ft
C Available GM 3.6 ft
D Available GM 4.1 ft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Available GM 3.6 ft. The reasoning is as follows: 1) The Stability Data Reference Book provides the necessary information to determine the available GM (Metacentric Height) for the given loading condition of the SS AMERICAN MARINER. 2) Using the white pages of the reference book and the load details provided in table ST-0054, the correct available GM is 3.6 ft, as stated in option C. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not match the GM value determined from the reference book for the given loading condition.
