Who may perform as a lookout?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — A member of the navigational watch
COLREGS Rule 5 requires that every vessel maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing. To ensure undivided attention to the safety of navigation, the lookout must be a member of the navigational watch and cannot be distracted by other duties, such as those in the engine or steward departments.
