What flag signal would you hoist if you wanted to ask a nearby vessel if he had a doctor on board?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) AM.
The AM signal flag is used to indicate "Do you have a doctor on board?" This is the standard signal used in the International Code of Signals to request the presence of a doctor or medical assistance from a nearby vessel.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the specific signal for requesting a doctor. B) AN 1 is a general distress signal, C) MA is the signal for "My engines are going astern", and D) AL does not represent any recognized signal code.
