What is meant by "CES"?

A Coastal Equivalent Station
B Coast Earth Satellite
C Central Equatorial Station
D Coast Earth Station
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Coast Earth Station. In the context of US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, "CES" refers to a Coast Earth Station, which is a shore-based facility that provides communication services for maritime satellite systems. Coast Earth Stations are essential for transmitting and receiving data, voice, and other information between ships at sea and on-shore operations. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the commonly used abbreviation "CES" in the maritime industry and Coast Guard examinations. Coastal Equivalent Station, Central Equatorial Station, and Coast Earth Satellite are not standard terms or abbreviations used in this context.
