Question 286 Deck Safety
70% to passSeveral vessels are at an anchorage. You wish to communicate with the vessel bearing 046°T from you but do not know the vessels call letters. Which flag hoist should NOT be used to establish communications?
A
CS
B
YQ3 A046
C
RQ A046
D
VF
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) RQ A046. The reasoning is that the RQ A046 flag hoist should not be used to establish communications with the vessel bearing 046°T, as this flag hoist is typically used to request the call sign or name of a vessel. Instead, the correct flag hoist to use in this situation would be YQ3 A046, which is used to call a vessel whose call sign or name is unknown but whose bearing is known. The other options, CS and VF, are not appropriate for this scenario as they do not convey the necessary information to establish communications with the target vessel.
