1. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The Rules state that certain factors are to be taken into account when determining safe speed. One of the factors is the __________.

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 __________.

intends to alter course to starboard
intends to pass starboard to starboard
is altering course to starboard
intends to pass port to port

6. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND All fog signals shall be sounded every two minutes with the exception of a vessel __________.

underway or making way
under sail or under tow
anchored or aground
not under command or restricted in her ability to maneuver

7. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The Rules state that certain factors are to be taken into account when determining safe speed. One of the factors is the __________.

radio communications that are available
maximum speed of your vessel
temperature
current

8. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You hear the fog signal of another vessel forward of your beam. Risk of collision may exist. You MUST __________.

begin a radar plot
stop your engines
take all way off, if necessary
All of the above

9. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel is carrying three lights in a vertical line. The highest and lowest of these are red and the middle light is white. Which statement is always TRUE?

During the day, she would display three balls in a vertical line.
If making way, she would show masthead lights at night.
If at anchor, she need not show anchor lights while displaying identifying lights.
Her fog signal would consist of a rapid ringing of a bell for five seconds every minute.

10. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE in an overtaking situation?

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
