BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night a vessel displaying the lights shown in illustration D065RR is doing which of the following?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) drifting.
The lights shown in illustration D065RR depict the navigation lights required for a vessel that is drifting at night. The illustration shows an all-around white light, which indicates the vessel is not underway and not anchored. If the vessel was anchored, it would display an anchor light instead. If the vessel was being towed, it would display towing lights. And if the vessel was fishing, it would display the required fishing vessel lights, which are different from the illustration.
Therefore, based on the navigation lights depicted, the vessel is drifting at night.
