🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (International) • Difference between international vs inland sound signals • How a single short blast is defined in open water (not a narrow channel/overtaking signal set)

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether this question is about the basic maneuvering signal definition or the special overtaking signals in narrow channels. • Ask yourself: under International Rules, what does one short blast ALWAYS mean, regardless of whether you are overtaking, meeting, or crossing? • Compare each answer choice and see which ones are adding extra meaning (like “request permission” or “maintain course and speed”) that may not be part of the formal definition.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in International Rule 34(a) what a single short blast means in plain language. • Note that narrow-channel overtaking signals internationally use two prolonged plus one or two short blasts, not just a single short blast. • Eliminate any choice that turns the signal into a question/request instead of a simple statement of your maneuver.
