Question 4183Deck General70% to pass
You have determined the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel by taking the radar ranges and bearings of an isolated light while making a turn. The results are listed in illustration D035DG. Based on this data what is the tactical diameter of the turning circle?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 880 yards.
The tactical diameter of a turning circle is the distance traveled by the vessel from the point at which the rudder is first put over until the vessel's head has swung through 180 degrees. Based on the data provided in the illustration D035DG, the tactical diameter is 880 yards.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the turning characteristics of the vessel as determined by the radar ranges and bearings in the illustration. Options A, B, and C underestimate the tactical diameter of the turning circle.
