🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (INTERCO) structure for letters and groups • Difference between single-letter, two-letter, and three-letter groups • Purpose of medical vs general signal codes

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in the Code, which kind of groups are used for routine, general communications and which are reserved for special purposes like medical or distress? • Think about how many letters are normally used for a ship’s nationality or call sign, and whether that matches ‘three letters’ in this context. • Consider whether urgency and emergency are usually shown by special flags/pennants or by ordinary 3‑letter groups.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how the Code classifies 3-letter groups compared with 1- and 2-letter signals. • Check what section of the book is specifically labeled Medical Signals and what format those signals use. • Confirm whether national identity is covered by the International Code of Signals or by separate call sign/registration systems.
