Xiao Bing: D flag.

Rabbit sea surveillance: ...

Rabbit sea surveillance: ...

Rabbit Haijian: "Stop catching immediately", which flag to hang?

Xiao Bing: D flag.

Rabbit sea surveillance: ...

Rabbit supervisor: "Well, England needs everyone to do their duty, including all carrots". Which flag to fly?

Xiao Bing: D flag.

Rabbit Haijian: Good boy, your answers are all right. This is your quotation ... ...

Baboons, monkeys, Japan: …

At the beginning of this joke, it is obvious that the rudder of this ship is damaged, which is to tell it that the ship itself is difficult to operate and let everyone avoid it.

England needs everyone to do his job, which was Nelson's famous command before the Battle of Trafalgar.

The D flag means, in short, leave me alone.

The D flag itself means "Our ship is difficult to maneuver, please avoid it". The joke circulating on the Internet now is that no matter what actions our marine police plan to take against Vietnam and the Philippines at sea, they only hang the D-flag, making it seem that the ships can't control the collision and let them suffer. Subtext: You deserve to be killed.

Vietnamese media: Vietnamese fishing boat was hit by 18 China.

"damaged" Vietnamese fishing boats

The iron anchor of a Vietnamese fishing boat was "patted" into the wooden hull and damaged.

According to a report by Vietnam Youth Daily on May 28th, Vietnam recently accused China ships of "attacking" Vietnamese fishing boats in the Xisha Islands, saying that this move "violated the international law of the sea". Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Liang Qingyi said in a statement on the evening of 27th: "This is a very serious situation. (This move) violated Vietnam's sovereignty and threatened the lives and property of Vietnamese fishermen. "

Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Liang Qingyi claimed that the "attack" violated the spirit of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea. "Vietnam resolutely opposes it and demands that China seriously investigate, strictly handle this matter and compensate the losses caused by Vietnamese fishermen." Liang Qingyi also said that Vietnamese Foreign Ministry officials met with representatives of the Embassy of China in Vietnam on 26th and lodged a diplomatic protest with the representative of China.

According to the report, Tran Van Trung, the captain of a Vietnamese fishing boat, said that the "attack" took place on May 20, when he and the crew of 15 were in the Xisha Islands, about 27 nautical miles from Zhizun County, Vietnam, and they were surrounded by the China ship 18. According to the report, the incident occurred in waters considered as "Vietnam's exclusive economic zone". China ships constantly forced Chen to drive away. Chen Wenzhong also claimed that the China army took photos and videos of them.

After that, a red boat hit a Vietnamese fishing boat twice, causing fishermen's property losses of about 654.38 billion Vietnamese dong (about 4,689 US dollars).

China's official ship is approaching great danger.

On May 26th, Japanese right-wingers entered the territorial waters of China on Diaoyu Island under the cover of Japanese coast guard patrol boats, and three sea surveillance boats from China went to expel them.

In the video, after seeing the sea surveillance ship approaching, the Japanese patrol boat began to obstruct the Chinese side from approaching the Japanese right-wing fishing boat.

But the slogan printed on the Japanese patrol boat seems to be that the China official ship is approaching, which is becoming more and more dangerous.

1803, British fleet commander Nelson led the fleet against the French and Spanish fleets. 1805, 10, launched a fierce naval battle at Trafalgar Point, wiped out 15 enemy ships and won a great victory. In this famous naval battle, Nelson, commander of the British fleet, used some signal flags with different colors and patterns to communicate with each other, which overcame the command difficulties caused by the inconvenience of maritime communication and played a key role in the battle and became an important factor in the victory of naval battle. Later, navigators and navies in Britain, Portugal, the United States, France, Spain and other countries followed suit, and each made easily recognizable signals and applied them to navigation and combat. 18 17, British Navy Colonel Mariette compiled a complete signal system, which was internationally recognized, and the signal flags currently used were constantly revised and improved on this basis. At first, this set of navigation signal flags had 16 faces, which could express 9000 sentences. Here it is 1897, and it has increased to 26 faces.

After the First World War, the British government proposed to amend the Universal Correspondence and submit it to the Universal Telecommunication Congress for consideration. 1934 On New Year's Day, the international communication signal flag was officially used in the world.

The ship has been communicating with signal flags for more than 400 years. Because of the advantages of flag communication, even today when modern communication technology is quite developed, this simple communication method is still preserved, and various signal flags are still hung on ships, which has become an important way of short-distance communication.

At present, there are 40 kinds of international signal flags, which are divided into four types:

The first is the letter sign: A, B, C, D, E...* * * 26 faces, rectangle and dovetail.

The second is the digital signs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...* * * 10, all of which are trapezoidal in shape.

The third is a substitute flag, which has three sides and is triangular. Its function is to use it instead of letter signs and number signs when it is not enough.

The fourth is the answer flag, which has only 1 face and is trapezoidal. Only used when answering questions from other ships.

In sign communication, signal signs can be used alone or in combination to express different meanings. Usually, two or three signal flags are hung to indicate the daily common content. For example, when sending our fleet off for a visit, a group of national flags were hung on the main mast of the visiting ship to say hello to the chief executive: one is "LBF" and the other is "LBV", which means "warmly welcome the guidance of the chief executive" and "salute to the chief executive". Navy 1 13 visited Southeast Asia for the first time. Before leaving Shanghai, two sets of national flags, "LBN" and "LBZ", were hung to the heads of the navy, officers and men of the army and the diplomatic envoys of the visiting countries in China. It means: "thank the head for his concern and encouragement and ensure the completion of the task." "Thank you, goodbye!" When foreign warships entered our territorial waters, the welcome flag group "WTC" hung on the main mast of the warship I greeted, which means "Welcome to China". When foreign warships visit Hong Kong, my ships moored in the port will also hang the "WTC" flag group. When foreign warships leave the dock after their visit, the ships moored at the dock should hang a farewell flag: "DB", which means "Goodbye".

The most solemn ceremony on the ship is "flag hanging", that is, naval ships fly national flags and military flags in accordance with regulations during the day, and signal flags are hung from the bow to the stern through masts to welcome heads of state, heads of government, senior military generals and visiting foreign warships, as well as major festivals, major activities and visits abroad. The communication flag is arranged with a tip on both sides, and the dovetail flag can be used as a square flag. However, there are some special requirements when flying the whole flag: there cannot be a communication flag with the same pattern as the national flags of various countries, nor can there be a single flag used to represent combat, nuclear defense, chemical defense and air raid prevention. One side of the flag means nothing. Hanging one-sided signal flag is the most urgent, important or commonly used content. For example, the A-flag is hoisted, which means "There are divers under my boat, please stay away from my boat slowly"; Hang the O-flag, which means "someone falls into the water" and so on.

The meaning of unilateral signal sign is as follows:

A: There are divers under me. Please stay away from me slowly.

B: I am loading and unloading explosives.

C: Yes (indicating permission).

D: I can't control it well. Please avoid me.

E: I turn right.

There is something wrong with my machine. Please contact me.

G: I need a pilot.

H: I have a pilot on board.

I: I'm going to turn left.

J: My boat is on fire, and there are dangerous goods on board. Please stay away from me.

Krishnamurti: I hope to correspond with you.

L: You should stop the boat at once.

M: My boat stopped and there was no water speed.

N: No (indicating disagreement).

O: Someone fell into the water.

P: Hanging a "P" in the harbor means that our ship is about to go to sea, and the crew should return to the ship (the "P" flag must be hung on the foremast). When a fishing boat at sea is used, it means "my net is entangled in obstacles"

Q: Our ship is not infected with the epidemic, so please exempt it from inspection.

R: Our ship has stopped, so you should pass our ship carefully.

S: I'll go back at full speed.

T: Don't pass my bow.

You are in the danger zone.

I need help.

W: I need medical assistance.

X: Stop your movements and pay attention to my signal.

Y: I want to be an anchor.

Z: I need a tugboat.

The international flag system is a flag communication system between ships, which allows ships to express their intentions quickly and clearly. This system is part of the international signaling rules.

Sign communication method is as follows:

Use different flags to represent different Latin letters or numbers to form strings;

Each signal flag also represents an independent meaning and has established standards; For example, the flag A itself stands for "This ship is supporting divers, so we can't sail".

One or more flags can form a code, and both parties can consult the code manual to understand the meaning of the code. For example, the Bopham digital coding system adopted by the Royal Navy in the Battle of Trafalgar.

In sailing competitions, flags have different meanings; For example, the flag P stands for "The race is about to start, please prepare the sailboat".
