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%.

Answer A .... vessel aground.




Bart Senior February 26th 05 12:01 AM

It is a large vessel aground showing two anchor lights.

The answer is A

Anchor Lights + Not Under Command (NUC) lights = Aground lights

Did you have an accident and lose a thumb and two fingers on your
"counting" hand?

5, repeat, 5

Three counting that trick question where they changed the rules for the
special flashing light.

The barge question over fifty meters in a special anchorage area the
right answer is TWO anchor lights. Bart was wrong when he said one
anchor light was the right answer.

Rule 30
a) A vessel at anchor shall exhibit where it can best be seen:
1.. in the fore part, an all-round white light or one ball;
2.. at or near the stern and at a lower level than the light prescribed in subparagraph (i), an all-round white light.
Special anchorage means nothing unless the vessel is less than 20 meters.

The question says a barge greater than fifty meters . . .

The correct answer is two anchor lights as per above.

I hope this helps.
