International Code Flag Set, No.0 Code Flag Set - Letter Flag is 1 ft. x 1-1/4 ft.

A useful addition to any ship, International Code of Signals flags can be used to send any number of messages. Each flag represents a letter, and has an additional meaning when flown alone (such as, "Altering course to port", "Require assistance", etc.).
The signals are a common form of maritime communication, and can be of great use at sea. Signals can be spelled out, but there is also an established set of international shorthand codes which stand for pre-set messages. For example, the flags for KN stand for, "I Cannot take you in tow", while KN1 signals, "I Cannot take you in tow, but will report your situation and ask for assistance". Surprisingly sophisticated messages can be communicated with signal flags. The flags are also commonly used as racing signals.
