When underway with a tow, you are required to notify the Coast Guard in which casualty situation?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Accidental stranding or grounding.
When underway with a tow, the Coast Guard must be notified in the event of an accidental stranding or grounding. This is required by regulations in 46 CFR 4.05-1, which state that the owner, agent, master, operator, or person in charge must immediately notify the Coast Guard of any marine casualty that involves grounding or stranding of the vessel.
The other options are not correct because: A) Damage to bridge-to-bridge radio capability, C) An injury requiring first aid treatment, and D) Damage to property amounting to $12,500 are not specifically required to be reported to the Coast Guard in this situation. The key requirement is the accidental stranding or grounding of the vessel while underway with a tow.
