What is the compass course of a vessel heading NNW?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — 337.5°
The compass is divided into 32 points, each equal to 11.25 degrees. North is 000 degrees, and North-Northwest (NNW) is the second point clockwise from North. Calculating 3 points from North (N, NbW, NNW) gives 3 x 11.25 = 33.75 degrees. Wait, NNW is 337.5 degrees (360 - 22.5).
