🔍 Key Concepts

• Distress signals in the Navigation Rules and International Code of Signals • The purpose of sound signals like 5 short blasts (danger/doubt) versus distress signals • Examples of recognized distress signals that can be used alone or together

💭 Think About

• First, recall what 5 or more short blasts on the whistle actually mean under the Rules of the Road: is that a distress, a warning, or doubt signal? • Think about whether distress signals are limited to one specific method, or if several types can be used at the same time. • Consider whether raising and lowering a white flag is officially listed as a distress signal, or whether another color/pattern is normally associated with distress.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the Navigation Rules – Annex IV (Distress Signals) for the official list of recognized distress signals. • Verify the meaning of 5 short and rapid blasts in the sound signals section (Rules 33–34). • Confirm whether a white flag alone is specified as a standard distress signal, and whether distress signals can be combined.
