Charlie and Mike - International Maritime Flag Concordance


Certain things seem to pair up like sweet & sour, ketchup & mustard, or salt & pepper.  In this case the names of the international maritime flags pair up on a conceptual level.  First of all Charlie and Mike are common first names of men and they are code for soldiers to keep marching on.

Charlie is the coded to the letter C, while Mike is coded to the letter M.  Other flags, previously compared are: T&F, which are dances as the Tango and Foxtrot; and R&J which are Romeo and Juliet.  It seems that there is a natural proclivity for the human mind to think in sweet-pea pairs.
