Question 1257Deck Safety70% to pass
When supplemented by a comparable signal on the general alarm, what is the signal for boat stations or boat drill?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) More than six short blasts followed by one long blast of the whistle.
This signal is specified in the regulations for the International Rules for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), which apply to vessels on the high seas and in waters connected to them. The COLREGS state that this specific whistle signal, when supplemented by a comparable signal on the general alarm, is the signal for the emergency signal of "boat stations" or "boat drill".
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific whistle signal prescribed in the COLREGS for this emergency situation. Options B, C, and D describe different whistle signals that have different meanings under the navigation rules.
