Deck Navigation (Supplementary) USCG Question #1696 (Set 4)

You are on course 355°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 275°. What is the true bearing of the lighthouse?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — 270°

True bearing equals True Course plus Relative Bearing (355 degrees plus 275 degrees equals 630 degrees; subtracting 360 degrees yields 270 degrees true), resolving the object's direction relative to true north.
