Rule 35 g - vessel at anchor SHALL ring the bell for 5 seconds every minute...a vessel MAY in addition sound one short, one long, one short...why is rapid ringing of the bell not the correct answer? |

I was thinking 5 sec of the bell because she is at anchor. However RAM is "due to the nature of her work", so she is not only at anchor. same with a vessel fishing, she can be fishing and at anchor. |

FPLOPEZ58 A dredge can show RAM lights and be anchored but it will not show anchor lights only RAM lights. So it will only sound RAM signals. |

Bill528, for one, that signal is optional. (I agree the question does not asked for the required, but the JO's don't know any better). But more importantly Rule 35 states, "(c) A vessel not under command; a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, whether underway or at anchor; a sailing vessel; a vessel engaged in fishing, whether underway or at anchor; and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel shall, instead of the signals prescribed in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Rule, sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes, three blasts in succession, namely, one prolonged followed by two short blasts." |

shes at anchor, why not one short one prolonged one short? |

how is this possible? RAM is anchored. She's no longer underway. She has to go to bells. |

Rule 35.c. I don't know how I'm going to remember this one. |
