Submarine Operating Areas
Finnish submarines frequently exercise in Airisto and in the vicinity of Iso Tarpana (60°25'N., 22°00'E.), and also at times
at various other places in the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf Bothnia.
In the areas named, vessels should always navigate with the greatest caution.
Submarines engaged in diving practice in the permanent exercise areas fly a square, diagonally divided red and white
flag on the periscope however, this flag is not always flown during temporary exercises.
A Finnish submarine, which for any reason cannot rise to the surface, will send to the surface, either telephone, signal or lift buoys.
The name of the submarine is given on all the buoys; the telephone and signal buoys also have two inscriptions, one giving brief instructions on how to communicate with the submarine and the other stating “Inform the Navy, Helsinki,
immediately of the position of the submarine.”
All inscriptions are given in Finnish, Swedish, and English. Anyone finding a buoy should radio Rannikkolaivaston, Esikunta, Helsinki and give the following information if possible:
1. Submarine name.
2. Telephone/signal/lift buoy.
3. Exact position in latitude and longitude.
Send the signal to the nearest vessels with a radio for forwarding. If the radio message cannot be sent to the nearest
vessel, it should be sent through the nearest radio or telegraph station or by telephone to the nearest state establishment
(customs, pilot, coastguard, or police station) for immediate forwarding. The Naval Staff will refund any expenditure incurred.
An endeavor should be made to communicate with the sunken submarine by the aid of the arrangements in the buoy
and the instructions there given.
If communication cannot be established, an attempt should be made to call the attention of the submarine by striking the vessel's side under water with a hammer and listening for a
reply signal. Such signals should be repeated every 15 minutes.
If the vessel anchors it should be to leeward of the buoy and at least 33m from it. Until assistance arrives the buoy should be
watched and a lifeboat kept ready.
