🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between displacement (weight of water displaced) and draft on a specific vessel • Using or interpreting a displacement–draft curve or table for the vessel • Importance of units (feet vs. feet and inches vs. decimal feet) when comparing answers

💭 Think About

• If you had the vessel’s displacement–draft curve in front of you, where would 13,553 kips fall on the scale, and what draft would that correspond to? • Which answer choices are simply different ways of expressing almost the same draft (feet and inches vs decimal feet), and which are clearly different values? • How precise is the displacement value (13,553 kips)? What does that tell you about how precise the draft answer should probably be?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you understand that kips are thousands of pounds and represent the vessel’s weight/displacement. • Confirm which answers are effectively the same physical draft expressed differently (e.g., 10.5 feet vs 10 feet 6 inches). • Verify that your chosen draft is consistent with the vessel’s size and displacement curve given in your reference materials or exam booklet.
