🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between true bearing, ship's heading, and relative bearing • Converting a relative bearing to a true bearing when measured clockwise from the ship’s bow • Understanding that bearings are measured 0°–359° and may need addition or subtraction then normalization

💭 Think About

• From what reference is a relative bearing measured, and in which direction (clockwise or counterclockwise)? • Given your ship’s true course is 355°T, how do you combine that with a relative bearing of 275° to get a bearing from true north? • After you add or subtract, does your answer fall within 0°–359°, and if not, how do you bring it back into that range?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know whether to add or subtract the relative bearing from the ship’s heading in this case • Confirm that your final angle is between 000° and 359°; if it’s ≥360°, adjust it correctly • Double‑check that you are using true values only (no magnetic variation or deviation is mentioned)
