Question 344Deck Safety70% to pass
When signaling a course using the International Code of Signals, the signal _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) always indicates a true course unless indicated otherwise in the message.
When signaling a course using the International Code of Signals, the signal always indicates a true course unless the message specifies otherwise, such as by including "M" for magnetic or "C" for compass. There is no requirement to follow the signal with "T", "M" or "C", nor to precede it with "CSE". The compass deviation is not included in the course signal itself, as that information would be provided separately in the message.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the standard practice for signaling courses using the International Code of Signals.
