barges being pushed ahead vessels constrained by their draft vessels towing by pushing ahead All of the above
2. INTERNATIONAL ONLY A sailing vessel is overtaking a power-driven vessel in a narrow channel, so as to pass on the power-driven vessel's port side. The overtaken vessel will have to move to facilitate passage. The sailing vessel is the __________.
stand-on vessel and would sound two short blasts give-way vessel and would sound no whistle signal stand-on vessel and would sound no whistle signal give-way vessel and would sound two prolonged blasts followed by two short blasts

5. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What is TRUE when operating in fog and other vessels are detected by radar?
You should make an ample change to port for a vessel crossing on the starboard bow. You should maneuver in ample time if a close-quarters situation is developing. You should determine the course and speed of all radar contacts at six minute intervals. Long-range scanning will provide early warning of ALL other vessels within the radar's range.
6. 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.
7. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND In narrow channels, vessels of less than what length shall not impede the safe passage of vessels which can navigate only inside that channel?
20 meters 50 meters 65 meters 100 meters
