Question 1536Navigation General
70% to passWhat is the relative bearing of an object broad on the starboard beam?
A
060°
B
075°
C
045°
D
090°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 090°. The relative bearing of an object that is broad on the starboard beam is 090°. This is because the starboard beam is the point on the right side of the vessel that is at a 90-degree angle to the vessel's heading. Therefore, the relative bearing of an object that is broad on the starboard beam would be 090°. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the 90-degree angle of the starboard beam. 060° and 045° are too far forward, and 075° is not precisely 90 degrees.
