radio communications that are available maximum speed of your vessel temperature current
2. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The Rules state that risk of collision shall be deemed to exist __________.
whenever two vessels are on opposite courses whenever a vessel crosses ahead of the intended track of another vessel if the bearing of an approaching vessel does not appreciably change if one vessel approaches another so as to be overtaking
3. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You are approaching another vessel. She is about one mile distant and is on your starboard bow. You believe she will cross ahead of you. She then sounds a whistle signal of five short blasts. You should __________.
answer the signal and hold course and speed reduce speed slightly to make sure she will have room to pass make a large course change, and slow down if necessary wait for another whistle signal from the other vessel
4. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A power-driven vessel towing another vessel astern (tow less than 200 meters) shall show __________.
a small white light abaft the funnel three masthead lights in a vertical line instead of either the forward or after masthead lights two masthead lights in a vertical line instead of either the forward or after masthead lights two towing lights in a vertical line at the stern
5. INTERNATIONAL ONLY A vessel sounds one short blast. This signal indicates the vessel __________.

One vessel is approaching another vessel from more than 20° abaft the beam. It is the duty of the vessel being overtaken to get out of the way. Any later change of bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel. All of the above
