HEY All!!!!The answer is Ship!!. AnswerIn international law an emergency situation is defined as when 'a vessel, aircraft, vehicle, or person is in grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance'. If the call for help is by voice the word 'Mayday' (from the French m'aidez -- help me) is used, but if by Morse Code then 'SOS' is used.

Incidentally, contrary to popular belief, 'SOS' does not stand for anything. It was chosen as an easily recognizable pattern of dots and dashes.
