Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — All of the above
Rule 24(c) requires a vessel engaged in towing that severely restricts her ability to deviate from her course to display the shapes prescribed in Rule 27(b). This includes a ball-diamond-ball on the towing vessel and a diamond shape on the tow, indicating the restricted maneuverability of the combined unit.
