PresenT day visual communicaTions includes Tlashing lighT, ,semaphore and Tlag hoisT. Flashing lighT is used mainly Tor Transmission oT adminisTraTive TraTTic.

Semaphore or, more Tamiliarly, wig-wag is limiTed in iTs uses because oT iTs impracTicabiliTy aT long ranges. IT is u.sually used only when ships are alongside each oTher or in porT.
