Which statement about Naval Control of Shipping in wartime is TRUE?

A It is mandatory in hazardous areas and voluntary in other areas.
B It is mandatory for vessels bound foreign and voluntary for vessels in the coastwise trade.
C It is mandatory only for vessels sailing in convoy.
D It is mandatory in wartime.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) It is mandatory in wartime. The reasoning for this is that during wartime, the U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for implementing Naval Control of Shipping, which is a mandatory system that requires all merchant vessels to comply with the instructions and routing of the Coast Guard. This is done to maintain control over the movement of vessels and protect them from potential threats. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the mandatory nature of Naval Control of Shipping during wartime.
