🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability and list correction when a single wing tank floods • Effect of pumping out vs. counterflooding on both list and overall GM (metacentric height) • How to read the Sample Load Form #4 (Drilling) to see which tanks are port/starboard, fore/aft, and high/low

💭 Think About

• When C3S floods, which side of the vessel will it tend to cause to settle or list toward, based on the tank name and position? • Between pumping from an intact tank and counterflooding another tank, which action most quickly restores upright condition without dangerously reducing overall stability? • Look at which candidate tanks are on the same side or opposite side of C3S and whether they are above/below the center of gravity—how does that affect list and GM?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which side and vertical location C3S is on in Sample Load Form #4 and the list direction its flooding would produce • Check whether 9S, 10S, and 1P are port or starboard, and compare their vertical and longitudinal positions relative to C3S • Confirm which option both corrects list and avoids adding excessive free surface or extra off‑center weight that would further reduce GM
