The rudders are amidships and both screws are going ahead. What will happen if the starboard screw is stopped?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — The bow will go to starboard.
Stopping the starboard screw while the port screw continues ahead creates an asymmetric forward thrust on the port side. This unbalanced rotational moment pushes the port quarter forward, causing the vessel's bow to swing sharply to starboard.
