Question 4Navigation Problems

The correct answer is B) 1145. To calculate the time of local apparent noon (LAN), we need to use the given information about the vessel's position and course. The key factors are the vessel's longitude (51°43.0'E) and the course (238°T). Using this information, we can calculate the time difference between the vessel's position and the local meridian, which is the point where the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This time difference is then subtracted from 12:00 to determine the time of LAN. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly account for the vessel's longitude and course in relation to the local meridian.
