Answer 1

save our ship

"SOS is the commonly used description for the International Morse code distress signal. This distress signal was first adopted by the German government in radio regulations effective April 1, 1905, and became the worldwide standard when it was included in the second International Radiotelegraphic Convention, which was signed on November 3, 1906, and became effective on July 1, 1908.

From the beginning, the SOS distress signal has actually consisted of a continuous sequence of three-dits/three-dahs/three-di... all run together without letter spacing. In International Morse Code, three dits form the letter S, and three dahs make the letter O, so "SOS" became an easy way to remember the correct order of the dits and dahs. In modern terminology, SOS is a "procedural signal" or "prosign", and the formal way to show that there are no internal spaces when it is sent is to write it with a bar above the letters, i.e. .)

In popular usage, SOS became associated with phrases such as "Save Our Ship," "Save Our Souls" and "Send Out Sailors". However, these phrases were a later development, most likely used to help remember the correct letters- something known as a backronym."

"SOS" has its origins in radiotelegraph.

At the first international radiotelegraph conference
in Berlin 1906 the question of an international distress signal was raised. The Marconi company had previously used "CQD" as a distress signal for Marconi ships.

The German administration proposed a signal
along the lines of "SOE" that had been used as a general call to German ships, and consensus could be found to make SOS, transmitted as ...---... in one character as the new distress signal.

Interpretations of "SOS" as "Save Our Ship" and
"Save Our Souls" are of a more recent date.
