I believe, the special flashing light is placed on the vessel being pushed ahead, not on the pushing vessel labeled "B".

Why would you see a red light with a starboard aspect on vessel B?

I want my money back.

jfearon50,

Were you given B as the answer? What browser are you using? Did you have multiple windows of uscgq.com open?

jfearon50,

We've identified the issue. The problem is having multiple windows of USCGQ.com opened. We are working on resolving this glitch and I'll post again when it has been resolved. But for now please only have one window open of USCGQ.com while studying.

this is 100% wrong

The question is poorly worded The flashing light is on the vessel being pushed by "B". It is NOT on vessel "B".

It would be better if this question was worded "one of the lights on vessel "B" or its tow"

However... you can still apply a process of elimination. The question asks which lights can vessel A see. There's only one possible answer to that question. Vessel B is obligated to display the other two lights, but only in such a way that it makes it impossible for vessel A to see them.

Strangely worded.
