When a vessel changes course from one cardinal heading to another cardinal heading while adjusting the compass, which action should be taken?
A
The course change should be made rapidly to prevent transient induced magnetism while passing the intercardinal headings.
B
After the new heading is reached, the vessel should steam on that course for at least two minutes before the adjustment.
C
During the course change, you should gently tap the compass to remove any error caused by friction on the pivot bearing.
D
After steadying on the new heading, the compass card should be slewed by a magnet and allowed to oscillate freely to remove any gaussin error.
