Oscar & Victor - To the Winners of the International Maritime Flag Concordance


International Maritime Signal flags all have names.  It was discovered that the P, D, C, B, and E are hard to distinguish over the radio and explosions.  Some genieous figured out to give each letter a distinct name instead of B or D.  The letter V was names Victor and the letter O was called Oscar.


Even today, many organization who do not refer to their by codified-clarity names, can lead to confusion.   Under pressure and speed Ps, Bs, and Ds, can sound alike.  

Although the design of Victor and Oscar are remarkably different, Victor or and Oscar have a conceptual congruency, since both associated with winning.  And, they are also names for men. 

Additionally Oscar's original meaning is associated with God's spear tip and or a great warrior.  And victories make great warriors.
