The answer to this question is wrong. a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver when making way sounds the lame duck signal, one prolonged, two short, on its whistle. four short blasts are sounded by pilots, it's to identify their vessel. depending on the nature of the work the vessel is conducting, even at anchor it'll sound the lame duck signal.

This test will not be changed because of poor questions, be a retro sexual and deal with it as it is

MONADYNE is correct. Four short blasts is only mentioned in the rules to identify Pilot vessel. This question is misleading & poorly written, should be removed.

Regardless of the "only mention" cannot a restricted visibility vessel sound the danger signal; cannot any vessel anytime necessary sound the danger signal?

Sailorstu, according to Rule 35 (k):
(k) A pilot vessel when engaged on pilotage duty may, in addition to the signals prescribed in Rule 35(a), (b) or (g), sound an identity signal consisting of four short blasts.

That does not state that it's for inland signaling only, and is the only mention in the Navigation Rules that mentions "four short blasts."
