1. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel must show an after masthead light, if over 50 meters in length?
A vessel engaged in fishing A vessel at anchor A vessel not under command A vessel trawling
2. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You see a red sidelight bearing NW (315°). That vessel may be heading __________.
northwest (315°) east (090°) southwest (225°) west (270°)
3. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A 15-meter sailing vessel would be required to show __________.
sidelights, sternlight, and a red light over a green light on the mast sidelights, and sternlight, but they may be in a combined lantern on the mast separate sidelights and sternlight sidelights only
4. INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which signal is sounded ONLY by a vessel in sight of another?
One short blast on the whistle Four short blasts on the whistle One prolonged blast on the whistle One short, one prolonged, and one short blast on the whistle
5. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement concerning maneuvering in restricted visibility is FALSE?
A vessel which cannot avoid a close-quarters situation with a vessel forward of her beam shall reduce her speed to bare steerageway. A vessel which hears a fog signal forward of her beam shall stop her engines. A vessel which hears a fog signal forward of the beam shall navigate with caution. If a vessel determines by radar that a close-quarters situation is developing, she shall take avoiding action in ample time.
6. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND If you are the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation, you may take action to avoid collision by your maneuver alone. When may this action be taken?
As soon as you determine that risk of collision exists Only when you have reached extremis When it becomes apparent to you that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action When you determine that your present course will cross ahead of the other vessel
7. INTERNATIONAL ONLY A vessel not under command sounds the same fog signal as a vessel __________.
engaged in towing constrained by her draft under sail All of the above
8. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel sounds the same fog signal when underway or at anchor?
A sailing vessel A vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver A vessel constrained by her draft A vessel not under command
9. INTERNATIONAL ONLY On open water, a power-driven vessel coming up dead astern of another vessel and altering her course to starboard so as to pass on the starboard side of the vessel ahead would sound __________.
two short blasts one short blast two prolonged blasts followed by one short blast one long and one short blast
10. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning a vessel equipped with operational radar?
She must use this equipment to obtain early warning of risk of collision. The radar equipment is only required to be used in restricted visibility. The use of a radar excuses a vessel from the need of a look-out. The safe speed of such a vessel will likely be greater than that of vessels without radar.
