You are signaling by flag hoist using the International Code of Signals. You wish to send the signals CL and IW and have them read in that order. What would ensure this?
• 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
• 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?
• 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.
