Question 1088Navigation General

The correct answer is A) 66 miles. To arrive at this answer, we need to consider the relative motion between the hurricane and your vessel. Given that the hurricane is moving towards 270°T at 19 knots, and you are moving on a course of 050°T at 11 knots, the relative motion between the two is approximately 220°T at 30 knots. This means that the hurricane will pass at a minimum distance of 66 miles from your position, which is the maximum CPA (Closest Point of Approach). The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the relative motion and the resulting CPA between the hurricane and your vessel.
