Hmm... There has been a great invention in the last century, may I introduce it to you,
The VHF radio.
With it you can actually speak to people.....using your voice...
Visual signalling is still instructed though. Its the only place you'll find morse code these days.
Morse is dead since the introduction of GMDSS.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

They were certainly at it until 1990 anyway. I think after that they really only used it during annual exercises. The comops or whatever they are called came on-line then.
I remember on the Orla or was it the other one that they had two commops and a leading tel. Whenever manoeuvers were on the L/tel (Ambo) would be in the radio cabin for about 16 hrs a day because the other two boys couldn't do the morse thing. I was fully convinced that they were talking about you in dots and dashes whenever you ventured up that neck of the woods.

Morse code is VERY handy if your diving on a vessel and need to communicate with someone top side, cheap and effectively"The Question is not: how far you will take this? The Question is do you possess the constitution to go as far as is needed?"

some bouys will also flash a morse letter at night so it helps to know what the letter is that it's flashing or what to look out for.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
