🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (International Rules) • Differences between International and Inland sound signals • Special sound signals used for overtaking in narrow channels versus signals for vessels at anchor

💭 Think About

• First, decide which of these options are likely to use maneuvering/overtaking signals, and which would use anchor or restricted-in-ability signals instead. • Ask yourself: in the International Rules, when a vessel is overtaking in a narrow channel and in sight of another vessel, what special sound signals are prescribed? • Compare that required overtaking signal pattern with the signals required for a vessel at anchor or engaged in mine clearance/fishing. Which one actually matches "two prolonged followed by one short"?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up Rule 34(c) – International for narrow channel overtaking signals and match the exact pattern: two prolonged + one short versus two prolonged + two short. • Verify that anchor signals are given in a different rule (check sound signals in restricted visibility and anchor bell/gong requirements) and do not match this whistle pattern. • Confirm that the question says INTERNATIONAL ONLY, so eliminate any signal patterns you know are specific to Inland or not related to overtaking maneuvers.
