Deck Navigation (Supplementary) USCG Question #1795 (Set 5)

You are on course 222°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 025°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 247°

True bearing is calculated by adding a starboard relative bearing to the true ship's course (TB = Course + Relative Bearing). Applying 222°T + 025° yields 247°T, adhering to standard piloting data reduction methods.
