Then what is the 2 whites showing?

I thought a stern view NUC making way, yet the upper white dont fit in
the picture.

So are you saying vessel aground showing a range?Or a stern view with
stern light and 360 white?

G Assuming my answer correct (and I'm surprised no one jumped on me
for not mentioning a "stern light"), the problem you're having is in
the mental picture .... you're assuming "masthead and range".
However, look at a large vessel at anchor. The fwd anchor light is
higher than the after one and since at no time does a NUC use masthead
and range lights......

A vessel aground doesn't show a sternlight, it shows an all around white
light at the stern (along with one at the bow, plus the two reds).


You need to read the post where I was discussing what lights a NUC uses.
When making way I neglected to mention the stern light. The above post
was correcting that and discussing "Anchor lights".
BTW, I see Neal missed about five answers ..... so much for his fabled 90%.
