“I was thinking maybe we need to fly that quarantine flag on our threads since that’s our status.”

There are a number of relevant flags that we might fly in addition to Lima.

Alpha - divers down

Bravo - Ammunition handling

Foxtrot - Flight Operations

Oscar - Man Overboard

Romeo - Underway Replenishment

Uniform - You are standing into danger

Any of these flags flown "at the dip" (2/3 up the yardarm) is a preparatory signal. I have a good sea story about "Oscar at the dip".
