Question 789Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning a partly submerged vessel being towed?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A diamond shape will be carried at the aftermost extremity of the tow.
This is the correct answer because the International and Inland Navigation Rules (Rule 24) state that when a partly submerged vessel is being towed, a diamond shape must be carried at the aftermost extremity of the tow. This identifies the presence of the submerged vessel to other vessels in the area.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the lighting or shapes required for a partly submerged vessel being towed. Red lights along the length, yellow lights at each end, or a combination of all three are not the correct requirements under the navigation rules.
