| Look at Rule 35 page 56 of Captains license complete study guide from wing and Austin it shows Sound Signals in Restricted visibility and in a PDV under way making way the fog signal is ONE PROLONGED BLAST every TWO minutes |

| Yeah...read this one too quickly. As SARAHSTONE1984 said, they're (in a roundabout way) referencing Rule 35(a). |

| This one confused me as well. The one prolonged blast is your identification signal in fog not your passing signal, which as you said you need to be "in sight" to sound. You would continue to sound the identification signal until in sight or if risk of collision exists, at which time you would slow to bare steerage and have your engines ready to maneuver and you could also sound the danger signal. You are the stand on vessel in this situation and have plenty of time for the other vessel to maneuver. |

| This is an incorrect question Rule 19 applies. YOu are not in sight so you cannot sound passing signals or the danger signal, and not at anchor so C is not applicable. You can sound A, but need to maneuver per Rule 19d |
