On which vessels may credentialed individuals be required to stand watch under the two-watch system, on voyages of more than 600 miles in length?

A Cargo ships
B Offshore supply vessels
C Uninspected towing vessels
D Tank vessels
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Uninspected towing vessels. Under the two-watch system, credentialed individuals may be required to stand watch on uninspected towing vessels on voyages of more than 600 miles in length. This requirement is specified in US Coast Guard regulations for the manning of uninspected towing vessels. The other options are incorrect because the two-watch system does not apply to cargo ships, offshore supply vessels, or tank vessels. Those vessel types have different watch requirements based on their respective regulations.
