What do all those dots and dashes mean?
The invention of the telegraph was followed by the invention
of the Morse code. Referred to in the Navy as the dot-dash system,
each letter and number is represented by a particular arrangement
of dots and dashes. Morse code is usable in sound signaling
(radio, sound and whistle) and visual signaling (lights and
flags).
