1487. Your sailing drafts are: FWD 24'-02″, AFT 24'-10″ and the GM is 4.6 feet. What will be the angle of list if #6 starboard double bottom (capacity 95 tons, VCG 2.6 feet, and 21 feet off the centerline) is filled with saltwater? (Use the data in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book)

Filling a tank off-center creates a heeling moment; the angle of list is determined by dividing the heeling moment by the product of the ship's displacement, obtained from the Stability Data Reference Book, and the GM. In this case, with a 95-ton weight 21 feet off centerline and a GM of 4.6 feet, the resulting angle of list is approximately 2.
