BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which of the following is TRUE of a distress signal?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Distress signals in the Navigation Rules (Annex IV – Distress Signals) • Difference between distress signals and warning/doubt signals (Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals) • That a distress signal can be used alone or combined with other signals

💭 Think About

• Which Navigation Rules section specifically lists internationally recognized distress signals, and what does it say about how they may be used? • Which signal in the Rules is used to indicate doubt or danger about another vessel’s actions, and is that considered a distress signal? • Look at the options: which one describes a general property of distress signals, rather than naming a specific sound or flag signal that might actually mean something else?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check Annex IV of the Navigation Rules for the exact wording about distress signals, especially any statement about being used together or separately. • Verify in Rule 34 what 5 or more short blasts means and whether that is listed as a distress signal or a warning signal. • Confirm whether raising and lowering a large white flag appears anywhere in the official list of distress signals.
