Question 875 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is A) in addition to the lights required for a power-driven vessel. A vessel engaged in mine clearance operations is required to display special identity lights in addition to the standard navigation lights required for a power-driven vessel. These special lights help identify the vessel's unique status and operational purpose, signaling to other vessels to exercise caution and maintain a safe distance. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) the 500-meter distance requirement is not a regulation for these special identity lights, C) the color and arc of horizon requirements are not specified for these lights.
