AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) amidships. The illustration SF-0022 is a diagram used for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. In this diagram, symbol number "3" represents the amidships, which is the midpoint of the vessel's length. This is the standard designation for the amidships location on ship diagrams and schematics. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) baseline refers to the lowest point of the vessel's hull, C) forward perpendicular is the front of the vessel, and D) displacement is the volume of water a vessel displaces, not a point on the vessel itself.
