Rules of the Road USCG Question #434 (Set 7)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND If practical, when shall a manned vessel being towed sound her fog signal?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Immediately after the towing vessel sounds hers

Rule 35(g) mandates that a manned vessel being towed must sound its signal immediately after the towing vessel. This ensures the signals are distinct yet sequential, allowing other vessels to identify both the tug and the tow in restricted visibility while maintaining the required interval for the towing unit.
