Navigation Problems USCG Question #412 (Set 12)

You are turning 93 RPM, with a propeller pitch of 25 feet, and an estimated slip of 0%. What is the speed of advance?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 22.9 knots

Calculate speed of advance using the formula: Speed = (RPM * Pitch * 60) / 6080. Substituting 93 RPM and 25 feet pitch, the calculation (93 * 25 * 60) / 6080 equals 22.9 knots. At 0% slip, the theoretical speed matches the actual speed of advance as per standard maritime navigation procedures.
