The "Bravo Flag" is a signal flag used in maritime contexts to indicate that a ship is carrying dangerous cargo, such as explosives or flammable materials. It is part of the International Code of Signals, which helps vessels communicate important information visually. The flag is colored red with a white diagonal stripe. When the Bravo Flag is displayed, it serves as a warning to other ships and nearby personnel to exercise caution. This is crucial for ensuring safety in busy ports and during maritime operations, where the risk of accidents can be heightened by hazardous materials.
