The DEEP DRILLER, at a draft of 19 feet, has a KGL of 59.91 feet and an LCG of 1.57 feet. What is the trim angle?

Correct Answer: Option B — 0.3° by the stern

Trim angle calculations on the DEEP DRILLER utilize the difference between LCG and LCB multiplied by displacement, divided by the moment to change trim one inch (MCTC). Converting inch-trim to angular degrees over the vessel's length yields 0.3 degrees by the stern.
