🔍 Key Concepts

• Sound signals in restricted visibility for vessels not underway vs underway • Difference between the bell signal for a vessel at anchor and a vessel aground • How additional strokes (like three distinct bell strokes) modify the basic anchor signal

💭 Think About

• First, recall the basic bell signal for a vessel at anchor in fog. What is the normal pattern and duration? • Now think: when that same vessel is no longer simply at anchor but in a more hazardous condition on the bottom, what extra element is added to the bell signal? • Compare the choices: which situation specifically uses three clear strokes before and after the rapid ringing, and which situation uses only rapid ringing?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Navigation Rules – Sound and Light Signals in Restricted Visibility (Part D) the pattern for a vessel at anchor. • Verify the rule language for a vessel aground and note how it modifies the anchor signal. • Confirm whether any special bell signal is prescribed in the Rules for a vessel in distress or engaged in underwater construction in restricted visibility.
