At the 2nd Radiotelegraph Conference in Berlin in 1908, it was finally decided that SOS is a universal danger signal.

Today, the SOS signal remains the simplest and best signal to use when someone is in trouble. The SOS signal is an internationally agreed Morse code signal that has been designed to be easy to remember.

Save our SoulsFurther evidence that SOS does not mean "Save our ship" or "Save our souls" is the fact that SOS was first adopted by the Germans in 1905. Looking at what Wikipedia has to say about the origin of the SOS distress signal, it appears to have been first formally introduced in 1905 as part of the German Radio Regulations, and then adopted as an international standard shortly after in 1906. None of this is true, but one thing is for sure: the term SOS is used as a distress signal and is often used by the Marines, especially those reporting emergencies from ships, and is based on Morse code. Since it consists of three letters, it is natural to assume that SOS is an abbreviation. In fact, the acronym SOS is not an abbreviation and doesn't mean anything at all. In International Morse, three dots make an "S" and three dashes make an "O", and it soon became common to informally refer to SOS as "S O S", with the electric world on January 12, 1907, which states that "ships Those in distress use a special SOS signal repeated at short intervals. Because the international Morse code represented the S as three dots and the O as three dashes, the original distress signal soon became known as SOS. Radio WavesConsisting of three em dashes, three en dashes, and three more em dashes, "SOS" was often used on radio waves. In Morse code, ``SOS'' is a sequence of three dots, three dats, and three other dots that make up the spelling ``S-O-S''. MorseIn Morse code, SOS (pronounced S-O-S) is used as a distress signal, which means the ship must be rescued. Although SOS is officially a Morse code sequence, it is often used as a shorthand for phrases such as "Save our ships" and "Save our souls." The word SOS is a phonetic abbreviation for the slogan "Save our souls" popular in the early 20th century. This literal acronym was originally known as the International Code and/or Extreme Distress Signal. AcronymSOS is an acronym commonly used on the internet to refer to the salvation of our souls.
