'I am dragging my anchor.' 'I require a tug.' 'Stop carrying out your intentions.'

: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'@Natasha_Jay this is so cool, do you have a photo of all the flags?

@vfrmedia @afewbugs @Natasha_Jay
I wonder if they still teach these to sailors?
Guess it might be useful if your radio was broken and you didn't have any other signalling method?
@FediThing @afewbugs @Natasha_Jay
they still do, for exactly that reason (a 12/24v battery failure could also knock out the main VHF set, and/or the handheld may not have charged batteries or even be present)

"You are running into danger" looks like a threat more than just a message
We need an emoji set of these

I don't and it bugs me. Image searches haven't returned the original book, which I'd love to know too. I assume these changed over time. -

We had to memorize these in Surface Warfare Officer school. (That memory has since been erased and reformatted to make room for Adventure Time lore.)

: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'@Natasha_Jay cool! Found the Wikipedia article for the current list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Code_of_Signals (scroll down to single flag signals - I couldn’t figure out how to link directly to the section on mobile)
My favorite: "Stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals." Could be handy in so many situations.

@tehstu
I wonder if it's a reply that your flags were incomprehensible ie "No meaning"?@tehstu @Natasha_Jay I think it just means that there's no "short code" associated with that flag so it just has its letter value.
