U.S. Coast Guard Boot Camp Practice Test

Which code word represents the letter B?

Charlie Bravo Echo Alpha

Correct Answer:

Bravo

Explanation:

In radio and maritime communications, the NATO phonetic alphabet assigns a distinct code word to each letter to ensure the letter is heard correctly, even in noisy conditions. The letter B is spoken as Bravo, which is why Bravo is the right choice. This system prevents mishearing similar-sounding letters during calls or distress signals. The other options are code words used for different letters, so they don’t represent B.
