Question 943Navigation General

The correct answer is D) 303°, 2h 32m. To intercept vessel A, you need to calculate the course to steer and the running time based on the given information. Using basic navigation principles, the course to steer should be the reciprocal of the bearing to vessel A, which is 303°T. The running time can be calculated by dividing the distance to vessel A (43 miles) by your speed (16 knots), which results in 2 hours and 32 minutes. The other options are incorrect because they either have the wrong course (265°T instead of 303°T) or the wrong running time (3 hours and 13 minutes instead of 2 hours and 32 minutes).
