What is the value of KML for the DEEP DRILLER at a draft of 60 feet?

Correct Answer: Option D — 61.13 feet

Transverse and longitudinal metacentric heights above the keel are derived from hydrostatic particulars. Entering the DEEP DRILLER hydrostatic tables at a 60-foot draft provides the height of the longitudinal metacenter above the keel (KML) as exactly 61.13 feet.
