🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability and trim – what happens when weight or flooding occurs on the starboard aft quarter • How to read Sample Form #4 (Drilling) to locate each numbered tank (fore/aft and port/starboard positions) • Difference between a port (P) and starboard (S) tank and how damage/flooding affects inclination

💭 Think About

• Look at the plan view/section on Sample Form #4 and identify which numbered tanks are located on the starboard aft side of the DEEP DRILLER. • Think about what kind of damage (flooding or loss of buoyancy) would cause a slowly increasing starboard aft inclination rather than a sudden list. • Compare which answer choices correspond to starboard tanks and, among those, which is positioned furthest aft on the plan.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which tanks from the choices are clearly marked starboard (S) versus port (P) on the form. • Confirm on the form which numbered tank is located aft-most on the starboard side. • Check whether the tank you’re considering is in a location where dropped casing over the starboard side could realistically strike and damage its boundary.
