BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel displaying the lights shown in illustration D063RR below is which of the following?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) towing astern.
The lights shown in illustration D063RR depict the navigation lights required for a vessel that is towing another vessel astern. The two all-round white lights, one at the stern and one near the towing vessel's masthead, are the distinctive signals that identify a vessel engaged in towing operations.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a vessel "not under command" would display different navigation lights, B) a vessel "underway and more than 50 meters in length" would display a different configuration of navigation lights, and C) a "fishing" vessel would have a different set of navigation lights.
