Question 976Navigation General

The correct answer is A) Get underway and be in deep, open-ocean water when the tsunami arrives. This is the safest action because a tsunami can cause significant damage to vessels and infrastructure near the shoreline. By getting underway and moving into deeper, open-ocean water, the vessel will be less affected by the tsunami's destructive waves and currents. Being in the open ocean also provides more room for the vessel to safely navigate and avoid potential hazards. The other options, such as staying anchored or positioning the vessel close to shore, would put the vessel at greater risk of being damaged or destroyed by the tsunami.
