 Although
you may never see nautical flags displayed except at fleet parades,
around naval installations, and areas with heavy international
shipping traffic, International code nautical flags are used
to signal between two ships or between ship and shore. Also
called signaling nautical flags, they are a set of nautical flags of
different colors, shapes and markings which used singly or in
combination have different meanings. The nautical flags
include 26 square nautical flags which depict the letters of the
alphabet, ten numeral pendants, one answering pendant, and
three substitutes or repeaters.
Only a few nautical flags colors can be readily distinguished
at sea. These are: red, blue, yellow, black, and white; and
these cannot be mixed indiscriminately. You will notice, for
clarity, that nautical flags are either red and white, yellow
and blue, blue and white, or black and white; besides the plain
red, white, and blue nautical flags.
So, in case you have no radio, and get stuck at sea with
nothing but nautical flags, it is good to know the nautical
flags codes. Nautical flags make good bumper stickers
for boaters, or anyone who knows the meaning of nautical
flags. Nautical flags are colorful, and nautical flags
are very popular with sea-faring types.
