In a national emergency, when communicating via the Navy, messages are sent by precedence. A message designated ROUTINE will be delivered within _______________.

A 10 minutes or less
B 3 hours
C 6 hours
D 30 minutes
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 6 hours. In a national emergency, when communicating via the Navy, messages are sent by precedence. A message designated as ROUTINE will be delivered within 6 hours. This is the standard delivery time for ROUTINE messages, as outlined in the Navy's communication protocols and procedures. The other options are incorrect because: A) 10 minutes or less is the delivery time for IMMEDIATE messages, not ROUTINE; B) 3 hours is the delivery time for PRIORITY messages, not ROUTINE; and D) 30 minutes is the delivery time for FLASH messages, which are the highest precedence and are used for the most urgent communications.
