Rules of the Road USCG Question #1687 (Set 22)

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.
