Question 520Navigation General

The correct answer is A) Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is responsible for broadcasting short-range radio navigational warnings in the United States. This is part of their role in providing maritime safety information and aids to navigation for the nation's waterways. The Coast Guard operates a network of radio stations that transmit these warnings, which include information about hazards, weather, and other important notices for mariners. The other options are incorrect because NOAA (B) is primarily responsible for offshore weather forecasting, the harbor master (C) oversees operations within a specific port, and the Corps of Engineers (D) is an Army organization that focuses on civil works projects, not maritime safety broadcasts.
