How close can you approach a U.S. Naval vessel without facing restrictions?

  1. 100 yards

  2. 50 yards

  3. 200 yards

  4. 500 yards

The correct answer is: 100 yards

Naval vessels are heavily guarded and are considered to be off-limits to unauthorized personnel. When approaching any naval vessel, it is important to maintain a safe distance and avoid potential security concerns. In this particular instance, any vessel must not approach within 100 yards of a naval vessel or it may face potential consequences. Option B (50 yards), C (200 yards), and D (500 yards) would all be incorrect because they all present distances closer than the safe distance of 100 yards. If a vessel approaches within these distances, it may face restrictions or even possible capture by the naval vessel for violating security regulations. The 100-yard distance ensures the safety and security of both the approaching vessel and the naval vessel.
