One long two shorts is a sound signal made in restricted visibility by the following classes of vessels:

  • Not Under Command
  • Restricted ability to manoeuvre
  • Constrained by draught
  • Sailing vessel
  • Vessel engaged in fishing
  • Vessel engaged in towing or pushing

A vessel engaged in fishing would make this signal at anchor and underway.

All other classes of vessel listed would make the signal only when underway.
