| As blossom word game, the correct answer is B) Aground. When a vessel displays the code flag "LIMA" (L), which is a red ball, it is indicating that it is aground. Aground means that the vessel is stuck or stranded on the bottom of the water body, such as a sandbar or a reef, and is unable to move under its own power. This situation requires immediate attention and assistance to refloat the vessel. |

| The code flag L "Lima" means 'You should stop your vessel instantly. ' International Marine Signal Flags are international signals used by ships at sea. They can be used to spellout short messages, or more commonly, used individually. |

| This is CORRECT! in Annex IV 1.(g) it states a "Square Flag above or Below a Ball" or anything resembling a ball. Since it does not specify which flag or ball color, when in distress, go with what you have. |

| This is a poor question. In the Nav Rules and Regulations Handbook, in the distress signals chart - it only shows a black flag with a ball underneath. It doesn't say anything about "LIMA". This is simply a question to memorize. |

| This is not shown as an alternative option in the navigation rules and regulations handbook. Balloney question. |

| This is CORRECT! one of the signals in rule 37 is a SQUARE FLAG AND BALL ... Since it does not specify which flag or colors, when in distress in the absence of a better signal, and flag above any color ball will do. |

| Answer is incorrect .. Rule 37 states that the only Flags for distress are Orange background with Black Ball and Black Square, Code flags November and Charlie flown together or Square Black Flag and Black Ball flown together. |
