BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What shall a partly submerged vessel or object being towed, which is not readily noticeable, show?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — a diamond shape
Rule 24(g) requires that a partly submerged vessel or object being towed, which is not readily noticeable, must exhibit a diamond shape. This shape serves as a daytime visual signal to warn other mariners of the presence of the tow, preventing potential collisions with the submerged or low-profile object.
