BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND For the purpose of the Rules, except where otherwise required, the term __________.

A "vessel engaged in fishing" includes a vessel fishing with trolling lines
B "vessel" includes wing in ground craft
C "vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver" includes fishing vessels
D "seaplane" includes non-displacement craft
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) "vessel" includes wing in ground craft. This is correct because the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), which are part of the Rules, define the term "vessel" to include wing in ground craft. The COLREGS apply to all vessels upon the high seas and in all waters connected to the high seas and navigable by seagoing vessels, which would encompass wing in ground craft. The other options are incorrect because: A) the Rules define "vessel engaged in fishing" differently, C) the Rules have a separate definition for "vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver," and D) the Rules have a separate definition for "seaplane" that does not include non-displacement craft.
