Question 519 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) Williamson turn. The Williamson turn is the recommended maneuver to perform when a "man overboard" situation occurs, especially in reduced visibility conditions like thick fog. This turn allows the vessel to quickly return to the last known position of the person in the water, enabling a prompt rescue attempt. The Williamson turn is a standard Coast Guard procedure for such emergencies. The other options are not the appropriate maneuvers in this scenario. The figure eight turn and racetrack turn are not as efficient for quickly returning to the man overboard's location. The round turn is a more general maneuvering technique, not specifically designed for a man overboard emergency.
