| You are attempting to take a dead ship in tow. All lines have been passed and secured. How should you get underway? |
| A) Order minimum turns until the towing hawser is just clear of the water, then reduce speed to that necessary to keep the line clear of the water. |
| B) If the towline is properly adjusted and weighted you can order slow or dead slow and the towline will act as a spring to absorb the initial shock. |
| C) Gradually apply power until catenary almost breaks the water, but keep the catenary in the water. |
| D) Order minimum turns until the towing hawser is taut and then continue at that speed until towing speed is attained. |
