🔍 Key Concepts

• Counterflooding adds water weight intentionally to change heel/list • Difference between a list from off-center weight and a list from flooding • How GM (metacentric height) and reserve buoyancy affect stability

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In what situation would adding more water (weight) actually help correct the angle of heel instead of making things worse? • Which cause of list would be dangerous to treat by bringing in more water because it could accelerate the casualty? • Which of the options describes a condition of the ship that counterflooding is specifically intended to balance or oppose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what counterflooding physically does: you are adding free surface water and increasing weight on one side or in certain compartments. • Decide which option, if misdiagnosed, would make counterflooding far more dangerous, not safer. • Verify which condition counterflooding is actually designed to correct in standard damage-control procedures, not overall stability design issues like GM or reserve buoyancy.
