🔍 Key Concepts

• Submarine training exercises often use a specific flare color to indicate a torpedo has been launched • Think about standard color meanings of pyrotechnic signals (distress vs. warning vs. location) • How military / exercise signals might differ from normal civilian distress signals

💭 Think About

• Which flare colors are most commonly associated with general distress at sea, and would that likely be used for a training torpedo signal? • If a flare must clearly stand out and be easily recognized as a special exercise signal, which color from the options is most suitable for that purpose? • Consider which colors are often reserved for danger / weapons firing / hazard indications compared to those used for illumination or normal signaling.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which color is most commonly tied to distress in maritime use and consider if that fits a routine training exercise. • Eliminate any color that is typically used for illumination only rather than specific coded meanings. • Choose the color that would most likely be reserved for a weapon-firing / hazard-warning signal rather than for generic visibility.
