Question
lookouts use what type of bearing when making reports?
true
magnetic
relative
gyro
Brief Explanations
Lookouts on a vessel use relative bearing for reports. Relative bearing is measured from the ship's heading (0° at the bow, 180° at the stern, 90° starboard, 270° port), which is practical for immediate situational awareness around the vessel. True bearing is relative to true north, magnetic to magnetic north, and gyro is related to gyrocompass (not the primary for lookout reports). So relative is the correct type here.
