You are approaching a small vessel and see that it has the signal flag "T" hoisted. What should you do?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Keep clear of the vessel because it is engaged in pair trawling.

International Code Flag "T" indicates that a vessel is engaged in pair trawling. Other vessels must keep clear to avoid entanglement with the heavy towing gear operating between the paired fishing vessels.
