| this question is stupid. you are already supposed to be sounding three short blasts when backing up. This question is asking what you would do in a situation where someone did not know you were currently backing up and was about to crash into your stern. I had this very same situation happen to myself, Cap'n sounded the danger single and I would have done the same. |

| Rule 34 (g) INLAND is what requires one prolonged blast when leaving a dock or berth. There is NO Rule 34 (g) International, and the question specifies INTERNATIONAL ONLY. The question is fine. |

| in practice its one prolonged to signal intent of exit from slip and 3 short to signal astern propulsion.... dumb question |

| It states that "Your vessel is backing out of a slip"...that all but says directly that you are operating astern propulsion. |

| Doesn't specify anywhere that the vessel is "operating astern propulsion." Could've been worded better. |

| @ESTUBBS1 Rule 34(g) is inland only. "When a power driven vessel is leaving a dock or berth she shall sound one prolonged blast" |

| Is one prolonged blast for getting underway only covered under inland rules. Why would this not be one prolonged followed by three short for operating astern propulsion. |

| For International and Inland rules 3 short blasts on the whistle mean you are operating astern propulsion, so if your leaving the slip you would be operating astern propulsion therefore you need to sound 3 short blasts. |

| Inland Rule 34(g) |

| Wouldn't the one prolonged on be under inland rules? I this case, I believe its only 3 short blasts. Why am I wrong? |
