Amake up the joint without a gasket until you can check with the chief
Bcheck the ship's plans or manufacturer's instructions
Cturn the old gasket over and install it again
Dleave the old gasket in and cover it with Permatex
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) check the ship's plans or manufacturer's instructions. The reasoning is that when working on critical ship systems like pipelines, you should always refer to the approved technical documentation, such as the ship's plans or the manufacturer's instructions, to ensure you are using the proper gasket material that is compatible with the system. Guessing or reusing an old gasket could lead to leaks or other issues. The other options are incorrect because they involve making assumptions or temporary fixes instead of consulting the proper technical sources.
