BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The wind is ESE, and a sailing vessel is steering NW. Which fog signal should she sound?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — One prolonged and two short blasts at two minute intervals
Under Inland Rule 34(a), two short blasts indicates 'I intend to leave you on my starboard side' (starboard-to-starboard pass), requiring an identical two short blasts confirmation.
