🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (ICS) distress and urgency messages • Differences between routine, urgency, and distress signals • Use of two-letter signal groups in ICS for standardized meanings

💭 Think About

• Which of these two-letter groups is specifically associated with situations of grave and imminent danger, not just difficulty or a request for information? • Think about which signal would logically be reserved for the most serious condition requiring immediate help, not just assistance when convenient. • If you had only flags or flashing light at sea and needed life-or-death help, which of these do you think the Code would dedicate to that purpose alone?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the ICS table that the chosen two-letter group explicitly includes the word immediate in its meaning, not just "assistance" or "help". • Confirm that the correct signal is listed under the distress category rather than general or medical signals. • Make sure you are not confusing signals that mean "I am in difficulty" or "I require a tug" with the one that clearly states immediate assistance required.
