Question 277Navigation General
70% to passWhich buoy may be odd numbered?
A
Mid-channel buoy
B
Lighted green buoy
C
Unlighted nun buoy
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Lighted green buoy. According to the United States Coast Guard Regulations, lighted green buoys may be odd-numbered. This is because the lateral buoyage system in the United States uses odd-numbered buoys to mark the starboard (right) side of a channel when entering from seaward. Lighted green buoys, which mark the starboard side of a channel, can therefore be odd-numbered. The other options are incorrect because mid-channel buoys are typically unnumbered, unlighted nun buoys are usually even-numbered, and the statement "all of the above" is not accurate, as only the lighted green buoy option is correct.
