Question 220 Deck General

The correct answer is A) put the rudder over to the right all the way. The command "Hard right rudder" means to turn the ship's rudder over to the full right deflection, which is the maximum amount of right rudder. This is done to execute a sharp, tight turn to the right as quickly as possible. The other answer choices are incorrect because B) only calls for a 15-degree right rudder, C) would be considered over-steering and could damage the rudder, and D) is a more gradual correction to a swing to the right rather than an immediate, maximum right rudder order.
