    The document lists international signal flags and their meanings used for communication between vessels at sea. Some flags indicate maneuvers ("I am altering my course to starboard"), conditions ("I am disabled, communicate with me"), or requests ("I require a pilot"). Racing flags are also included that modify the standard flags for use in communicating during yacht races.
