70% to pass

To find the specific phase characteristic of a lighthouse on a sound of the United States you would use the _______________.

A U.S. Coast Pilot
B Light List
C Nautical Chart Catalog
D American Practical Navigator
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Light List. The Light List is the official publication of the U.S. Coast Guard that provides detailed information on lighthouses, beacons, and other aids to navigation, including their phase characteristics. This publication is the definitive source for finding the specific phase characteristics of a lighthouse on a sound of the United States. The other options are incorrect because: A) The U.S. Coast Pilot provides general coastal and harbor information, but does not contain the specific details about lighthouse phase characteristics. C) The Nautical Chart Catalog is a list of available nautical charts, not a source of information about lighthouse characteristics. D) The American Practical Navigator is a comprehensive navigation reference, but does not specifically focus on lighthouse details.
