Which statement best describes Condition Zebra?

• A. Set during General Quarters; Maximum protection
• B. Set during port entry; Minimal protection
• C. Set during drills; No protection
• D. Set when in no danger; Basic protection

Answer: (A)

Condition Zebra represents the highest level of ship security readiness, activated when the ship is at General Quarters and needs maximum protection. In this state, the crew is at battle stations, security measures are intensified, and access to areas is tightly controlled to deter or respond to threats. It isn’t used during port entry, drills, or when there’s no danger, which call for lower or basic protection levels.
