A vessel has been damaged and is taking on water. Where can you find the data that will indicate how much water the vessel can retain and still possess reserve buoyancy?

Correct Answer: Option B — in the Floodable Length Curves for the specific vessel

Floodable length curves, required under 46 CFR stability regulations, display the maximum length of a vessel compartment (centered at any given point) that can be flooded without submerging the margin line. This provides vessel officers with the precise theoretical limit of floodable volume and remaining reserve buoyancy.
