Warning Signals to Denote the Presence of Submarines

(1) Attention is drawn to the following warning signal which is in use to denote the presence of submarines:

British vessels fly one of the two International Code Groups HP or OIY to denote that submarines, which may be submerged, are in the vicinity. Vessels are cautioned to steer so as to give a wide berth to any vessel flying either of these signals. If from any cause it is necessary to approach her, vessels should proceed at slow speed until warning is given of the danger zone by flags, semaphore, or megaphone, etc., a good look-out being kept meanwhile for submarines whose presence may be only indicated by their periscopes showing above water.

A submarine submerged at a depth too great to show her periscope, may sometimes indicate her position by releasing a smoke-candle, which gives off a considerable volume of smoke on first reaching the surface. Her position may sometimes be indicated by red-and-white or red-and-yellow buoys or floats, which tow on the surface close astern.

(2) It must not be inferred from the above that submarines exercise only when in company with escorting vessels.

(3) Under certain circumstances warnings that submarines are exercising in specified areas may be broadcast by a General Post Office W/T Station.

(4) Submarines may be met on the surface by night, particularly in the vicinity of the following ports:

Thames Estuary, Portsmouth, Portland, Plymouth, Barrow, Liverpool, Londonderry, and Clyde areas.

(5) Hitherto the navigation lights of submarines have been exhibited from the conning tower, which is near the centre of the vessel. The steaming light, bow lights, and overtaking light have been necessarily low down and closely spaced with the result that they give no indication of the submarine’s length nor of her exact course or change of course. Consequently, they may be mistaken for the lights of a very much smaller vessel of the coastal type.
