One shot of anchor chain is equal to how many feet (meters)?

Correct Answer: Option D — 90 (27.4 meters)

Standard maritime practice defines one shot of anchor chain as 15 fathoms. Since one fathom equals 6 feet, a single shot measures exactly 90 feet. In metric units, this converts to approximately 27.4 meters, which is the industry-standard length for anchor chain segments used on commercial vessels.
