On a CG Cutter with two mast, where do you display the CG Ensign?

• A. Foremast
• B. Two raised ribs
• C. Main deck
• D. Crowsnest

Answer: (B)

Display from the two raised ribs. On a Coast Guard Cutter with two masts, the proper place to hoist the CG Ensign is the two raised ribs at the bow. This spot keeps the flag clear of rigging and the masts, provides good visibility from the water, and allows secure handling from the deck. Hoisting it on the foremast or crow’s nest would place the flag in the rigging or an awkward height for visibility and handling, and the main deck is too low for proper display.
