And what about rule 24 (f)(ii):
a vessel being towed alongside shall exhibit a sternlight and
at the forward end, sidelights and a special flashing light

It really isn't that hard to learn this stuff, Neal.

And what do you mean "by definition"?

a special flashing light is ONLY used on a vessel being pushed ahead.

A. is the correct answer.

B. is incorrect because a vessel being towed along side does not require
a special flashing light. That makes D. wrong as well.

Get a clue.

A is the correct answer.

The question is inland only. In the inland rules a special flashing
light is NOT, I repeat, NOT
required when towing along side past the demarcation line. A hip tow
requires sidelights and two yellows on its stern. It does not require a
special flashing light.

INLAND

A special flashing light is used on a vessel

A. being pushed ahead
B. towed alongside
C. towed astern
D. both A & B

I thought it was just 6 years ago.

So you're claiming that you were once, but no longer are, a qualified
master? Well, it shows.
