Question 151Navigation General

The correct answer is C) the meridian through the ship's position. When using a Lambert conformal chart in high latitudes, angles such as bearings are measured in reference to the meridian through the ship's position. This is because in high latitudes, the meridians converge, and using a different meridian as the reference would lead to significant distortions in the bearing measurements. The other options are incorrect because: A) the meridian midway between the ship and the object is not a consistent reference, B) the meridian through the object of the bearing would also lead to distortions, and D) using any meridian as the reference would not provide the necessary accuracy for navigation in high latitudes.
