While in transit at a draft of 20.5 feet, the DEEP DRILLER has a KGT of 65.00 feet. What is the GMT?

Correct Answer: Option A — 7.55 feet

Transverse metacentric height (GMT) is calculated by subtracting the transverse center of gravity (KGT) from the transverse metacenter (KM) corresponding to the specific draft. Using the hydrostatic data at a 20.5-foot draft yields a GMT of 7.55 feet.
