Rules of the Road USCG Question #1078 (Set 18)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When navigating in thick fog with the radar on, which action should you take?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — station a look-out as low down and far forward as possible

Rule 5 requires a proper lookout by all available means. In restricted visibility, placing a lookout as low and far forward as possible improves the ability to hear sound signals and detect objects that might be obscured by the vessel's own structure or radar clutter, ensuring maximum situational awareness.
