The Main Broadcast Alarm Sound

The three harsh blast of the main broadcast alarm is not just used for sounding action stations. The actual alarm itself is to alert the crew of some form of danger that could be detrimental to the integrity of the RN warship. When the alarm is sounded, it will always be followed by a call to action. If there is a fire onboard a Royal Navy warship, you will hear three blast from the alarm followed by; Fire, fire fire, fire in (location) attack party muster at the scene of the fire, support party muster at (location). Another use of the main broadcast alarm would be used if there is a flood within a certain compartment.
