You are on course 357°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 180°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — 177°
Adding the relative bearing of 180 degrees to the ship's true course of 357 degrees results in 537 degrees. Subtracting 360 degrees yields a true bearing of 177 degrees to the lighthouse.
