Question 1496Navigation General

The correct answer is B) 045°. An object that is broad on the starboard bow has a relative bearing of 045°. This is because the starboard bow is the direction 45 degrees to the right of the ship's heading, and "broad" refers to an object located at a bearing of 90 degrees to the ship's heading. The other options are incorrect because 030° would be forward of the starboard beam, 060° would be aft of the starboard bow, and 075° would be too far aft to be considered "broad on the starboard bow."
