| 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? |
| A) The vessel can probably be saved if further flooding can be stopped. |
| B) The vessel will suddenly flop to the same or greater angle of list on the other side and may capsize. |
| C) The slowing is only temporary and the vessel will probably suddenly capsize or plunge from loss of stability due to change in the waterplane area. |
| D) The vessel will continue to slowly list and/or trim due to the free surface effect and free communication effect. |
