Question 232Deck Safety70% to pass
After receiving your distress call, the U.S.C.G. may ask you to switch to which SSB frequency?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2670.
The U.S. Coast Guard will typically ask a vessel in distress to switch to the international distress and safety voice communication frequency of 2670 kHz (SSB). This frequency is designated for use in maritime emergency situations and is monitored by the U.S. Coast Guard and other vessels.
The other answer choices (A, C, and D) are incorrect because they do not correspond to the standard distress and safety frequency used by the U.S. Coast Guard. Vessels should be prepared to switch to 2670 kHz when directed by the Coast Guard during an emergency situation.
