BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night, a broken down vessel being towed would show the same lights as which vessel?

A a power-driven vessel underway
B a barge
C a towing vessel
D a vessel at anchor
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) a barge. At night, a broken down vessel being towed would show the same lights as a barge. This is because the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires that a barge being towed display the same navigation lights as a vessel being towed, including stern, masthead, and side lights. The other options are incorrect because: A) a power-driven vessel underway would have different light configurations, C) a towing vessel would have additional towing lights, and D) a vessel at anchor would have different anchor lights.
