Hotel and Unit - Internatoinal Maritime Flag Concordance


There is Romeo & Juliet, Tango & Foxtrot, Delta & Alpha.  Do you see the pattern with the names of the signal flags?  It like a yin and yang thing.  More done to earth examples would be: salt & pepper, ketchup & mustard, or peas & carrots.  Hotel matches up with Unit, officially.  However, off the record, people often like to use igloo to I.   

The letter H has had many names.  Initially in 1913 it was called Have, then Hypo from 1927, then How during WWII, and finally Hotel in 1957. The letter U initially called Unit in 1913, then Uncle during WWII, and finally Uniform in 1957.

Regardless of all the name changes, Hotels are made up of several Units.  Without the each Unit there is no Hotel.
