Second Repeater Flag – Nautical Signal Flag

The 2nd Repeater, also known as the Second Substitute, is part of the International Code of Signals. It is used to repeat the second flag in a signal hoist, allowing sailors to communicate without carrying duplicate sets of every signal flag aboard. With its bold blue-and-white design, the 2nd Repeater makes a striking piece of authentic nautical décor—and one with a genuine purpose and history behind it.

Repeater flags are a wonderfully practical piece of maritime communication. Instead of carrying multiple copies of every alphabet and numeral flag, a vessel can use substitutes to repeat a flag that has already appeared in the same hoist.
