Tell that to the commercial tug boat, which made no signal, leaving its berth to enter the Point Potrero Reach channel and appearing immediately in front of me from portside (causing me to stop). I've got to start pushing the five-short-and-quick-horn-signal button if just to emphasize other captains'/commanders' ineptitude.

But I will say one thing about whistle signals...in many areas you are not going to hear them by the comms...they are loud and are discouraged in populated/crowded dock areas if there is a lot of activity.
In NJ they are practically non-existent except for the really important ones of restricted vis and the danger/doubt.
