BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When may a pilot vessel continue to sound an identity signal in fog?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — When at anchor
Rule 35(i) explicitly states that a pilot vessel engaged on pilotage duty may sound an identity signal of four short blasts. This authority extends to when the vessel is at anchor, allowing the pilot vessel to maintain its unique acoustic identity while performing its essential navigational duties in fog.
