Did you know that the saying "Sounding Off" comes from ship to ship communication when signaling course and maneuvering intentions by horn signals?
For example 3 short blasts of the horn or klaxion means : I'm backing up now."
3 long 2 short mean "Farewell to port,thanks for the hospitality."
From the memory of Ruff.
