(True/False) The Deaerating Feed Tank heats and stores seawater.

Explanation:
The Deaerating Feed Tank is meant to deaerate and store boiler feedwater, using steam to heat the water so dissolved gases are driven off and a steady supply is available for the boiler feed pump. It does not heat seawater, nor store seawater. The water entering it is condensate/feedwater, not seawater. So the statement is not correct.
