Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Continued Ship Operations

Continued Ship Operations (CSO) designates the team responsible for maintaining essential vessel functions during an emergency. This ensures that while the emergency squad focuses on the casualty, the ship remains under control, with critical systems like propulsion, steering, and power generation monitored by designated personnel to prevent further escalation.
