Military Science 2: The Home of Naval Reservists in The North

The document discusses flashing lights used for naval communication and the international Morse code. It describes two types of flashing lights - directional signals sent via searchlight to a targeted receiver, and non-directional signals from yardarm blinkers visible in all directions. It then details the international Morse code system using dots and dashes to represent letters, numbers, and punctuation through distinctive sight patterns. Learning the full Morse code through repetition of code groups and plain language is recommended.

Chapter 1 6

Flashing Lights
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Chapter 1

After the class discussion, the students are


expected to:
• Be able to know the different types of
flashing lights
• Know by heart the international Morse code
Types of Flashing Lights

Directional
A. Signals are sent out by signal searchlight that is
pointed and trained directly at the receiver so as to be
visible through a limited area.
 
B. It is the long range or visual signaling method
1) 12" Searchlight
2) 24" Searchlight
Non-Directional
A. Signals are sent out from yardarm blinkers
which are operated from the transmissions key
located in the pilot house or on the signal bridge.
B. Lights are visible in any direction away from
the ship, thus affording the sender effective way to
communicate simultaneously with many addressees.
International Morse Code

1. Standard for all naval communications transmitted by


flashing light or radiotelegraph.
2. Dot & dashes system
a) A dot equals 1-unit duration
b) A dash equals 3 unit
c) The period between dots or dashes is equals to
one unit
d) The period between characters is equals 3 units
e) The period between groups equals 7 units
 3. Letters and numerals including punctuation are all
consist of 36 sight patterns
a) 26 alphabets - A-Z
b) 10 numbers 1-0
c) 10 punctuation marks
4. Best way to learn code is by wholes
5. Try code group first then plain language
