There used to be two chief limited licenses. One near coastal and one oceans.
Dde licenses go by seatime alone, no horsepower calculation.
So, I can see if someone would want to get a dde unlimited if they would have a hp limitation on their chief limited. It’s worth it because the chief limited is a 1600 grt ticket and time sailing under the dde unlimited can be used to remove the limitation on the other license…assuming the dde unlimited is sailing on something 4k hp or more.
