In maritime signaling, the Romeo (R) flag, also known as the "R" flag, has multiple meanings. It can represent the letter "R" in the International Code of Signals, but it also has specific signals. At sea, it can mean "Preparing to replenish," and in port, it can indicate a "Ready duty ship". Additionally, it can signal "The way is off my ship; you may feel your way past me". Here's a breakdown: Letter R: The Romeo flag is used to represent the letter "R" in the International Code of Signals. Preparing to replenish: When a ship is preparing to receive fuel, supplies, or other materials from another ship at sea, the Romeo flag may be displayed. Ready duty ship: In port, the Romeo flag can indicate that a ship is designated as a "Ready duty ship," meaning it is prepared for immediate service. "The way is off my ship": This signal means that the ship displaying the flag is clear to pass and that other vessels can proceed safely past it. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
