| Rule 35 (k/I) Four short blasts... no prolonged blast... says it right in the book this question is bad. |

| I agree. It should have none of the above. Horribly worded. | |

| It should have none of the above. " A pilot vessel engaged on pilotage duty" should sound 4 short blasts with no proceeding prolonged blast | |

| This question is not wrong... see rule 35... "(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." "(a) A power-driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast." |

| Think of it this way: NUC, RAM, Fish, Sail.. they all sound PSS. The P proceeds the SS. So for a vessel engaged in Pilotage it makes sense that the P proceeds the SSSS. | |
