🔍 Key Concepts

• Marine casualty reporting requirements in 46 CFR Part 4 • The specific USCG form number used for marine casualty and commercial vessel incident reports • Recognize which listed forms belong to other agencies or purposes (e.g., military discharge, general DOT, internal CG forms)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these forms is specifically associated with marine incidents, accidents, or casualties on U.S. waters? • Can you identify which choice is clearly a military discharge form and which is a generic Department of Transportation form, and rule those out first? • Think about which form number you have seen paired with terms like 'Report of Marine Accident, Injury or Death' in your study materials.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in your notes which form is titled "Report of Marine Accident, Injury or Death" or similar wording. • Eliminate any form you know is used for military personnel records rather than marine safety reporting. • Confirm that the form you select is identified in 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations as the standard written report form.
