RAM vessels are typically indicated by lights in combination with what other indicator?

Explanation:
RAM indicates a vessel is restricted in its ability to maneuver. To ensure this information is understood in all conditions, these vessels use navigation lights plus a daytime indicator. The standard daytime signal is a specific day shape pair—usually a ball above a diamond—displayed vertically. This combination lets other vessels quickly recognize the RAM status even when lighting isn’t as easy to spot, so they can take appropriate action to keep clear.
