Flag Signaling
Flag signaling is a method of communication that uses flags to convey messages over distances. This technique is often employed in maritime settings, where ships use specific flag combinations to indicate their status, intentions, or requests to other vessels. Each flag represents a letter or a specific message, allowing for clear and efficient communication without the need for voice or electronic devices.
In addition to maritime use, flag signaling can also be found in military operations and outdoor activities. For example, Semaphore is a popular flag signaling system that uses two flags held in different positions to represent letters of the alphabet. This method allows for silent communication, making it useful in various situations where noise must be minimized.
