Question 755Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You are on watch and sight a vessel showing a high intensity all-round flashing red light. Which vessel is required to have this light?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) a WIG craft in flight near the surface.
The reason this is the correct answer is that a WIG (Wing-In-Ground) craft, when operating in the non-displacement mode near the surface, is required to display a high intensity all-round flashing red light as a visual signal to other vessels. This requirement is specified in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS).
The other options are incorrect because seaplanes, air-cushion vessels, and submarines do not have this specific lighting requirement when underway or operating near the surface.
