Question 733 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is D) None of the above. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, vessels are generally required to display specific navigation lights when underway or at anchor, with the purpose of identifying the type and activity of the vessel. The regulations do not provide any exceptions that would allow a fishing vessel, pilot vessel, or mineclearance vessel to display identifying lights when not actually engaged in their respective occupations. All vessels must comply with the applicable navigation light requirements based on their activities and the prevailing conditions, without any allowance for discretionary lighting displays.
