Question 661General Subjects - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) rudder angle indicator. The rudder angle indicator on the bridge displays the current position of the ship's rudder. This is the primary means of monitoring and controlling the rudder from the bridge. The rudder angle indicator shows the exact angle the rudder is positioned, which is critical information for the officer in charge of navigating the vessel. The other options are incorrect. The follow-up gear, telemotor position, and Rapson slide indicator are not the primary means of displaying rudder position on the bridge. These are related components in the overall steering system, but do not directly show the rudder angle to the navigator.
