Question 3936 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 690 yards. This is determined by analyzing the maneuvering characteristics of the vessel during the 45-degree turn, as shown in the illustration D034DG. The advance for a 45-degree turn is the distance the vessel travels in the direction of its original heading before the turn is completed. Based on the ranges and bearings provided, the advance for this 45-degree turn is 690 yards. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the advance for a 45-degree turn as shown in the illustration. Option A (590 yards) and Option B (635 yards) are too short, while Option D (740 yards) is too long compared to the correct value of 690 yards.
