🔍 Key Concepts

• Sound signals in restricted visibility (fog signals) for power-driven vessels, towing vessels, and vessels being towed • The difference between the signal for the towing vessel (the tug) and the vessel being towed • Rules for manned vs. unmanned tows in the Navigation Rules

💭 Think About

• First, recall the standard fog signal for a power-driven vessel making way, then recall how that changes for a vessel engaged in towing, and finally for the vessel being towed • Ask yourself: does a manned tow use the same signal as the tug, the same as a power-driven vessel, or a modified shorter signal? • Think about the pattern: prolonged blasts usually indicate a vessel underway; short blasts usually modify or add information about special conditions (like towing or other status)

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up Rule 35 – Sound signals in restricted visibility and find the specific subparagraph for a vessel being towed • Verify whether the rule distinguishes between a manned tow and an unmanned tow and how that affects the requirement to sound a signal • Confirm the exact sequence (number of prolonged vs short blasts) used by the vessel being towed, and compare each option carefully against that pattern
