What is the minimum required GML for the DEEP DRILLER in winds less than 70 knots while at a draft of 60 feet?

Correct Answer: Option B — 2.63 feet

MODU stability criteria establish minimum longitudinal metacentric height (GML) requirements to ensure adequate pitch stability and wave response. For the DEEP DRILLER at a 60-foot draft in winds under 70 knots, the required operational baseline is 2.63 feet, as dictated by stability booklet limitations.
