Question 488 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) the code flags FR. The Coordinator Surface Search in a Search and Rescue (SAR) situation should display the code flags FR by day to indicate their role and responsibilities. This is in accordance with the International Code of Signals, which is the standard for maritime communication and signaling. The other answer choices do not represent the correct signal for a Coordinator Surface Search. Options A, B, and C describe different signal shapes and configurations that are used for other purposes in maritime operations, but they are not the proper day signal for a Coordinator Surface Search.
