One prolonged followed by one short is NOT a signal defined by International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72COLREGS). Unless you are are leaving a dock or berth (one prolonged) then immediately arranging a port to port passage. Unless that is the case there is no such thing as 1 prolonged followed by 1 short.

The above answer is incorrect.
The sound signal short-long-short is an optional, additional signal made by a vessel at anchor in restricted visibility. The signal may be made by such a vessel in addition to her required sound signal to give warning of her position and of the possibility of collision to an approaching vessel.
