⚓US Coast Guard Captain's LicensePractice Question - Answer
C. A manned vessel being towed
According to the U.S. Inland and International Navigation Rules (Rule 35), a towing vessel, when the length of the tow is 200 meters or less, shall sound a signal of one prolonged blast followed by two short blasts. However, a vessel being towed or pushed ahead (if manned) is required to sound a signal of one prolonged blast followed by three short blasts. This distinguishes it from a vessel that is simply being towed.
