| d. one prolonged blast CorrectCongratulations, you are correct. Reference: Reference: Rule 35(a) Comment about the Answer: You may sound your fog signal more often than once every two minutes if necessary.Comment about the Question: In restricted visibility, the most information a power-driven vessel's fog signal can convey is whether the vessel is "underway" or not. "Underway," by the definition in Rule 3(i), refers to a vessel that is "not at anchor, or made fast to shore, or aground." If a vessel is underway, her fog signal can convey whether she is stopped and drifting with the current or is "making way" through the water. Each case requires a different fog signal as you can see by comparing Unified Rule 35(a) to Unified Rule 35(a). |
