🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for discharge papers when a Continuous Discharge Book (CDB) is lost • The purpose of a Continuous Discharge Book versus a one‑time discharge document • Which forms are used for releases from shipping articles versus records of sea service

💭 Think About

• Think about what document a seaman needs to prove sea service when the CDB is missing and he is being discharged from articles • Ask which option specifically addresses continuing the service record for a replacement book, rather than just ending the contract or notifying the Coast Guard • Consider which form would most logically be used as an official record entry substitute for pages that would have been written in the lost book

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice (if any) is tied to shipping articles and mutual release rather than loss of a book • Check which form or document is normally used for a single voyage discharge when no CDB is available • Verify in 46 CFR that the correct document is used to support an application for a duplicate Continuous Discharge Book
