Question 408General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B. This instruction would be most appropriately entered into the Chief Engineer's night orders due to the non-routine nature of the repair and testing of the No.2 SSDG (ship's service diesel generator). The chief engineer would need to be notified without delay when the repairs are complete and the generator is ready for testing, as this is a critical operation that requires the chief engineer's oversight and approval before the generator can be returned to service. The other options, while important, do not represent the same level of non-routine operations that would warrant specific entry in the chief engineer's night orders. The instructions in A, C, and D are more general in nature and can be considered routine engineering practices.
