SUBMARINE EMERGENCY IDENTIFICATION SIGNALS

Green or Black - Used under training exercise conditions only to indicate that a torpedo has been fired or that the firing of a torpedo has been simulated.

Yellow - Indicate that a submarine is about to come to periscope depth from below periscope depth. Surface craft clear vicinity of submarine. Do not stop propellers.

Red - Indicates an emergency condition within the submarine and that it will surface immediately, if possible. Surface ships clear the area and stand by to give assistance after the submarine has surfaced. In case of repeated red signals, or if the submarine fails to surface within reasonable time, she may be assumed to be disabled. Buoy the location or take loran readings immediately, look for submarine buoy and attempt to establish communications. Advise Coast Guard or U.S. Naval authorities immediately.
