Dimensions: 40' feet x 18” Weight: 2.10 lbs (not packaged) Finish: Shown colorful flags Material: Cotton Description: One of the oldest forms of communication on the sea is the use of these visual flags. The U.S. Navy uses the international alphabet flags, numeral pennants, numeral flags, and special flags and pennants for visual signaling. In addition to their alphabetic and numberic meanings, these flags also have special meanings when used individually; for example, the "H" flag also means "I have a pilot on board." These signal flags are used to communicate while maintaining radio silence. Signals unique to the Navy are used when communicating with other U.S. Navy or allied forces. When communicating with all other vessels, the International Code of Signals is used. The system of international maritime signal flags is a way of representing individual letters of the alphabet on ships or in nautical situations. The flags can also be used to signal other things than alphabetical messages. For example, divers will often raise the flag representing the letter A as a marker to other sea traffic in the area. The flags are also used, with a different set of special meanings, in yacht racing and dinghy racing, w (for example) the P flag is used as the "preparatory" flag to indicate an imminent start, and the S flag means "shortened course". International maritime signal flags make a great home or party decoration. Give a personalized signal flag banner as a gift, or say something special in an unusual way.
