56. At 0900, the current is flooding in a direction of 350°T at 1.2 knots. If your engines are turning RPMs for 9 knots, which course should you steer per standard magnetic compass to make good a course of 297° true?

To maintain a track of 297 true, steer a compass course of 302psc. This compensates for the flood current's effect by steering slightly to the left of the desired track, ensuring the ship's actual track remains on 297 true after accounting for compass error.
