Question 567Deck General70% to pass
A list signal of one white light indicates that the vessel is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) listing about 1° to the side the light is displayed on.
The one white light signal indicates that the vessel is listing, or tilting, to one side by approximately 1 degree. The light is displayed on the high side of the listing vessel to provide a visual indicator of the list. This allows other vessels to be aware of the vessel's stability and potentially precarious condition.
The other options are incorrect because: A) a list of over 5 degrees would require multiple lights, not just one; B) an even keel would not require a list signal; and C) the chutes should be directed to the low side, not the side the light is displayed on.
