🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (ICS) flag-hoist reading order (top to bottom, outboard to inboard) • Purpose and use of a tackline in flag signaling • How multiple separate groups (e.g., CL and IW) are distinguished in a single hoist

💭 Think About

• How are separate groups of flags kept from being read as one continuous group in ICS? • In what situation would CL and IW be misread as a single four-letter group instead of two two‑letter groups? • Which method, if any, is specifically defined in ICS for separating successive groups in one hoist?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the definition and use of a tackline in the International Code of Signals. • Check how ICS specifies reading order and grouping of flags in a hoist. • Confirm whether using different yards alone changes the reading order or grouping according to ICS rules.
