What is the compass course of a vessel heading ENE?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 067.5°
East-Northeast (ENE) is positioned between East (090°) and Northeast (045°). It is 22.5° counter-clockwise from East. Subtracting 22.5° from 090° yields 067.5°. Bowditch emphasizes that these subdivisions are vital for clear, concise reporting of bearings and headings in all maritime operations.
