BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night, a broken down vessel being towed would show the same lights as which vessel?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — a barge
Rule 24(e) specifies that a vessel or object being towed, other than those mentioned in paragraph (g), must exhibit sidelights and a stern light. These are the same basic navigation lights required for a barge, ensuring the towed unit is visible to other vessels navigating in the vicinity at night.
