The Coordinator Surface Search (CSS) in a SAR situation should display by night _______________.

A a distinctive signal promulgated by the CSS
B deck lights forward and aft
C a white light over two red lights
D a red light, white light, and blue light in a vertical line
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) a distinctive signal promulgated by the CSS. The reasoning is that the Coordinator Surface Search (CSS) in a Search and Rescue (SAR) situation is required to display a distinctive signal promulgated by the CSS to indicate their presence and role. This is the standard requirement specified in maritime SAR protocols and regulations. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the specific signal requirements for the CSS. Options B, C, and D describe general navigation lights or color configurations that are not the designated signal for the CSS.
