A vessel is signaling to you by flag hoist, and the answer pennant is hoisted close-up. What action should you take?

🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (ICS) meanings for the Answering Pennant • Normal sequence of call, answer, and execution in flag signaling • Difference between acknowledging a signal and requesting repetition or confirmation

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In flag signaling, what does it mean when the answering pennant is hoisted close-up versus at the dip or hauled down? • Consider which option reflects an appropriate response to having your signal clearly seen and understood by the other vessel. • Which choice matches the idea that communication is now complete for that signal, rather than still in progress?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the specific ICS meaning of the Answering Pennant hoisted close-up. • Check which letter flags (such as C or R) are used for "Yes/affirmative" or "I have received your signal" in the International Code of Signals. • Make sure the chosen action fits with a situation where the other vessel is indicating your signal is understood and ready.
