is underway - as defined - so is give- way and needs to get out of the way of the stand-on....

this is a good question because yes, even tho you ARE the give way vessel,
The stand on vessel is not releived of his obligation to keep out of the way to avoid a collision Rule 8 (f) and Rule 17 (a) (ii)
so in real life, you spot a vessel stopped in the water, say, dead ahead, you will ensure, early on, by your manoeuvre alone, that you dont turn it into a close quarter situation, because sitting on your course claiming "well i am the stand on vessel" even tho you can clearly see, early on that the other vessel is not taking any action for anything, is just bad seamanship!
