General Navigation USCG Question #470 (Set 16)

The buoy symbol printed on your chart is leaning to the northeast. This indicates __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — nothing special for navigational purposes

Chart symbology showing a buoy leaning at an angle indicates only the physical symbol placement on the paper sheet to avoid chart clutter; it carries no operational navigational meaning regarding the buoy's actual physical orientation or status.
