Code Words - Tango India

[shark Fan]

The captain of Costa Concordia made an announcement of "Tango India". It is suppose to mean "injured people" according to a news clip that I saw. What are some of the code words and their meanings that Carnival uses?

[5waldos]

I don't think that Tango India refers to injured people. I believe it has to do with a fire on board, or electrical problems perhaps? I have heard the call for injured people and it was not Tango India, although at the moment I forget what it was. Bright star? Or is that if someone has died?

Bright star? Or is that if someone has died?

That is either someone died or overboard, but I think it is a death.

Question is better asked on the Costa board all lines have their own codes.

except that the question asks what codes Carnival uses...

I bet the Costa Captain was thinking "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!"

Definitely "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot"!

[OnePsychLynne]

The last codes I heard for Carnival were Bright Star called for a medical emergency and Fallen Star called for a death.

Lets see if I remember..

India:..I am directing my course to port( international speak)Come along side( Navy speak)Round the ends , starting rule ( Sailing regatta)

Tango: Do not pass ahead of me ( Navy speak) Keep clear engaged in trawling( international speak)..

Not bad for a retired Army medic who has only been on one destroyer in her career eh;).. heck I don't know if that helped at all..(((:D))))

[barbsie8]

I saw the news report also.... the staff member that was being interviewed stated that he heard the announcement "tango India" and that it meant injured person.

Proving that Costa and Carnival are not the same thing and don't speak the same language. And I don't mean Italian and American-

Disney Cruise lines uses bright star for a medical emergency

[Teechur]

Che cazzo

 

Betcha the Captain said "Che cazzo" a couple hundred times (as he snuck away), along with the 1000 Italians on-board, and everyone on the island of Giglio. It's probably a newspaper headline in Rome right now.

Italy has an astounding historical record as a seafaring nation. What a shame when a single cowboy "cazzos" it up:rolleyes:.

In time, this event will be forgotten as new tragedies occur. Unfortunately, the human loss will be felt by families of the victims for the rest of their lives.:( RIP
