Ship-to-ship communication

Answer:

AHOYMATEY

Hint:

Think of the classic pirate greeting combined with a term for a fellow sailor, often heard in old sea tales or cartoons.

Explanation:

"Ship-to-ship communication" hints at a nautical greeting, and "ahoy" is the classic pirate call to get another ship’s attention. The answer "AHOYMATEY" combines "ahoy" with "matey," a friendly term for a fellow sailor, making it a playful way to hail another crew. It’s a lighthearted nod to pirate slang, where both words are staples of seafaring chatter.
