Which T-Boat must be fitted with a suitable compass?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A vessel engaged in ocean or coastwise service.
The regulations require that vessels engaged in ocean or coastwise service must be fitted with a suitable compass. This is because vessels operating in open ocean or coastal waters face greater navigational challenges and require a compass to determine their heading and direction of travel.
The other options are incorrect because A) vessels in river service and B) vessels operating on short, restricted routes on lakes, bays, and sounds are not subject to the same compass requirements as ocean-going vessels. D) is incorrect as the regulations do require a compass on certain vessels, specifically those engaged in ocean or coastwise service.
