🔍 Key Concepts

• Uninspected vessels and how they are regulated differently from inspected vessels • Where legal requirements (like minimum numbers of fire extinguishers) are normally published • The difference between a regulation (CFR) and a reference or training manual

💭 Think About

• Which choice sounds like an official U.S. Coast Guard regulatory source, rather than a textbook or guidance manual? • If an inspector asks, "Show me where the regulations require that number of extinguishers," which type of document would you present? • Look for the answer that would apply uniformly to all uninspected towing or fishing vessels, not just one company or one ship.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to a U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) subchapter • Confirm which options are technical manuals or handbooks, not regulations • Ask yourself: "Which of these would a Coast Guard examiner actually quote as the legal minimum requirement?"
