The DEEP DRILLER, at 60.0 feet draft in sea water, has VM = 974,441 foot-long tons, LM = 40,301 foot-long tons, TM = 3 foot-long tons, FSML = 30,572 foot-long tons, and FSMT = 18,732 foot-long tons, and FSMT = 18,732 foot-long tons. What is the LCG?

Correct Answer: Option C — 2.22 feet

Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) is determined by dividing the total longitudinal moment (LM) by the total vessel displacement (VM). Utilizing the provided values gives an LCG of 2.22 feet per standard hydrostatic calculation formulas.
