You are on course 344°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 270°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — 254°
True bearing is calculated using the standard navigator's formula: True Bearing equals True Course plus Relative Bearing (TB = TC + RB). Adding 344°T and 270° yields 614°; subtracting 360° results in a true bearing of 254°.
