What is maneuver number 22?

• A. Propeller reverse
• B. Line
• C. Left and right to center
• D. Pairs alternate left and right at the rail

Answer: (B)

Maneuver numbering in drill manuals assigns a specific action to each number, so the term in this position is the action you’re expected to perform.

Line is the best choice because it represents forming or maintaining a straight alignment with a reference line, a simple, stable instruction that fits as a standard drill item. The other options describe actions involving propulsion changes (like reversing the propeller) or more complex lateral or rhythmic movements (adjusting to the center, or alternating left-right at the rail), which correspond to different maneuvers rather than the straightforward alignment implied by this number.
