Question 2929 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 600 miles. According to the U.S. Coast Guard's regulations, deckhands on towing vessels must be divided into 3 watches when the trip exceeds 600 miles. This is to ensure that the deckhands get adequate rest and can safely operate the vessel over longer voyages. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's requirements. Trips of 700 miles, 800 miles, or 1000 miles would all require the deckhands to be divided into 3 watches, per the regulations.
