Bwahahhahahahaha. I used to think you knew your stuff but I'm beginning to
wonder. It might be a trick question, though, in which case both of us might
be incorrect. Seems I remember something about only manned tows having
to sound fog signals. . . The question states unmanned.

G Someday they'll get those signals so an "unmanned" barge can
automatically sound a fog signal immediately after the tug does.

Only it the two is manned. This one is unmanned.

The answer is A.

1 Lash for Joe

1/2 point for Neal for knowing the correct fog signals
for a MANNED barge.
