Which statement concerning the chartlet in illustration D010NG below is true? (Soundings and heights are in meters)
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — The sunken wreck southwest of Beito Island shows the hull or superstructure above the sounding datum.
Standard hydrographic chart symbology defines sunken wrecks with hulls or superstructures extending above the sounding datum using specific open hull symbols, whereas submerged wrecks entirely below the datum use dotted danger circles.
