No. They're referred to as "masthead lights."

When you meet a tug towing behind
you will see the normal running lights plus the two towing lights
(masthead lights)

This is where the confusion lies. Those two white lights tell you this
vessel is
towing. Towing lights - get it?

Rule 21 (d) “Towing light” means a yellow light having the same
characteristics as the “sternlight” defined in paragraph (c) of this
Rule."

Got it?

This is a "rules test." Not a "I forgot the rules so I'll just make
up nonsense test."

You're right. I didn't feel the need for points this time. I only
got interesting when I saw how poorly Joe and Neal were doing.

Neal and Joe are both wrong, it is not B or D.

But I did say that they were both wrong on this one.



I'll admit it is not a simple question. These are the
typical confusing questions the USCG asks.


A towing light is defined as being "just like a stern light, except
yellow." How can that be confused with white, all around, or at the
bow? There are lots of confusing questions; this is not one of them.

Two masthead lights means it is towing. Two masthead lights means towing. Two
masthead lights are often called towing lights.

Green over white trawling tonite
Red over green sailing machine
Red over red pilot is dead, etc.

Green over white equals trawling lights
Red over green equals sailing lights
Red over red means Not Under Command.

Two white masthead lights means towing.

Get it now?

I don't get it, since two white "masthead lights" might mean a
powerdriven vessel 50 meters in length or greater.
You're grasping at straws, Neal.

otn

the PILOT is dead??? Its "read over red, the captain is dead." You
don't even know the correct phrase!

Sorry Neal, a towing light is yellow, not white. But keep showing
your ignorance, its amusing!
