Five short blasts from another vessel's horn typically signal danger or an uncertain maneuver. It serves as a warning to nearby vessels that the signaling vessel is unsure of the other vessel's intentions or is indicating a potential collision risk. In maritime communication, this signal emphasizes the need for caution and awareness in navigating close quarters.
