| Rule(34) International Waters: Two PDV in sight of one another. One blast means "I am altering my course to starboard." Dead astern insinuates there is a Risk of Collision. The person who said this was written by his 5 year old is valid, but this question does give all the information you need to know for the correct answer. |

| Rule 34a. The question misleading you by suggesting it's an overtaking situation, which would only apply in a narrow channel. But it's actually two ships in sight of one another and the ship turning starboard is required to sound one short blast. |

| also this question is worded as if my 5 year old wrote it |

| I thought in open water, no passing signals are required to sound back especially if you don't have to deviate course. No wiggle, no whistle... |

| If only the CG took the time to digest the regulations into something meaningful rather than just cut and paste the CFRs into a “handbook.” I, too, was unable to infer initially that overtaking in open ocean was the same as passing. |

| Reference Rule 9(e) and 34 (c) (i) |

| Two prolonged before your one or two short blasts is only when overtaking in a narrow channel in international waters when you are overtaking such that the vessel being overtaken also has to move. |

| however, this is also an overtaking situation |

| As nclevi2 pointed out, "one short blast" is correct. The question specifies you are in open water, as such, sound signals for narrow channels do not apply is this situation. You are simply altering course to starboard. |

| this answer is wrong. it should be b as I selected for my answer. however, it says the answer is c. in overtaking situation for international the whistle blast start with two prolonged blast followed by either one or two short blast. |
