Which vessel is NOT required to have a radiotelephone?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A 12-meter private yacht.
Under U.S. Coast Guard regulations, vessels of 12 meters (39.4 feet) or less in length are not required to be equipped with a radiotelephone, regardless of whether the vessel is for private use or for hire. This exemption applies to smaller private yachts, as long as they are not engaged in commercial operations.
The other options (A, B, and C) all describe vessels that would be required to have a radiotelephone installed, as they are either larger in size, carrying passengers for hire, or engaged in commercial activities like towing or dredging.
