| As chief engineer you should understand the concept of corrective measures and their purpose. The following four actions will have which affect on the vessel? 1) Add weight low and symmetrically about the centerline. 2) Remove high weight symmetrically. 3) Move weight down symmetrically. 4) Eliminate any free surface present. |
| A) To correct for the trim of a vessel to achieve parallel sinkage. |
| B) To correct for the trim of a vessel to achieve a desired trim by the head. |
| C) To minimize the righting moment a vessel has thereby increasing her stability. |
| D) To move the center of gravity down to a position below the metacenter and remove an angle of loll. |
