You are on course 277°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 045°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — 322°
Using the standard navigational formula, True Bearing equals True Course plus Relative Bearing (TB = TC + RB). Adding 277°T and 045° gives 322°T. Since the sum is less than 360°, no further adjustment is required.
