You should FIRST __________. #5 A vessel aground may have negative GM since the __________. #6 If the cause of a sudden severe list is negative initial stability, counterflooding into empty tanks may __________. #7 With damaged floating vessels, the most important consideration is the preservation of __________. #8 During counterflooding to correct a severe list aggravated by an off-center load, your vessel suddenly takes a list to the opposite side. You should __________. #9 Intact buoyancy is a term used to describe __________. #10 To increase the extent of flooding your vessel can suffer without sinking, you could __________. #11 Your vessel has been holed in #1 hold and partially flooded. The hole is plugged against further flooding. In calculating the effect of the flooding on your transverse stability, you should use which method? #12 A vessel is described as a two compartment vessel when it __________. #13 Your vessel is damaged with no list, but down by the stern. There is progressive flooding and trim by the stern is increasing. What is the effect on transverse stability after the deck edge at the stern is submerged? #14 A continual worsening of the list or trim indicates __________. #15 Your vessel is damaged, listing to port and on occasion flopping to the same angle to starboard.

What action should you take FIRST to correct this situation? #16 Your vessel is damaged and is listing to port. The rolling period is short. There is sufficient freeboard so that deck edge submersion is not a problem.

Your draft has increased uniformly and there is about 4 feet of freeboard remaining. The vessel is on an even keel and has a long rolling period. The roll is sluggish, and the vessel hangs at the ends of a roll. Which of the following actions would you take First to correct the situation? #18 Your vessel is listing 4° to port and has a short rolling period. There is loose firefighting water in the hull.

It is listing 12° to port and trimmed 8 feet down by the head. It has a long, slow, sluggish roll. Which action should you take FIRST? #20 Your vessel is damaged, and there is no list or trim. The rolling period is short. The freeboard before the damage was 12'02" (3.7 meters). It is now reduced to 3'00"(1 meter). Which action would you take FIRST? #21 Your vessel is damaged and listing to port. The rolling period is long, and the vessel will occasionally assume a starboard list. Which action should you take FIRST? #22 Your vessel is damaged and on an even keel. There is no trim. The freeboard is reduced to less than 1 foot. The rolling period is very long, and the vessel is sluggish in returning from a roll. Which action would you take FIRST to improve stability? #23 Damage stability is the stability __________. #24 The stability which remains after a compartment is flooded is called __________. #25 Aboard damaged vessels, the MOST important consideration is preserving __________. #26 When flooding occurs in a damaged vessel, reserve buoyancy __________. #27 You are fighting a fire in a watertight compartment using hoses and salt water. Stability may be reduced because of __________. #28 Your vessel was damaged and initially assumed a significant list and trim; however, further increase has been slow. Based on this data, what should you expect? #29 To prevent loss of stability from free communication flooding you should __________. #30 Jettisoning weight from topside __________.
