the only effective flag vs. other boats or jet skis is a large man wearing a red T-shirt holding a larger white rifle at port arms

Alfa? Never heard of it. Alpha, on the other hand.........

Alfa is the international spelling. Alpha is the American spelling.

Just like Aluminum is the American spelling Aluminium is the international spelling.

When flag is flown singly on a stationary vessel it means,"Diver down; keep clear."
When flag is flown singly on a vessel under way it means, "I am undergoing a speed trial."

The Second part of that definition seems to be somewhat different to what was posted earlier in this thread. Although I suppose speed trial might be a case of limited manuverability.



I am sure glad all of the internationaly accepted symbols for maritime safety are so well understood
