BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning a partly submerged vessel being towed?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — A diamond shape will be carried at the aftermost extremity of the tow.
Rule 24(g) specifies that a vessel or object being towed, which is partly submerged or inconspicuous, must display a diamond shape at the aftermost extremity of the tow. This provides a visual day signal to alert other mariners to the presence of the hazard, regardless of the tow's specific length.
