Q

A look-out should report objects sighted using __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between relative, true, magnetic, and gyro bearings • How a look-out quickly and clearly reports targets to the bridge team • Standard phraseology used on merchant and naval vessels for look-out reports

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: From the look-out’s position, what is the fastest and most intuitive way to describe where an object is relative to the ship? • Which bearing system does NOT require the look-out to know the ship’s heading, variation, or deviation? • Which of these bearing types is typically determined and adjusted by navigational instruments on the bridge, not by the look-out?:

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which bearing type is measured from the ship’s bow (0° at dead ahead) around through 360° • Eliminate any options that require converting between true, magnetic, and compass or reading a gyro repeater • Confirm which method allows a lookout to say things like “Target bearing 045 degrees” without using any instrument
