Dans la Marine, le sifflet de manœuvrier sert à transmettre des ordres et des informations. Le fait de donner un ordre de cette façon se dit «lancer un appel». On peut retracer l'usage du sifflet de manœuvrier à l'année 1248, au temps des croisades en Angleterre. [...] Aujourd'hui, le sifflet de manœuvrier et sa chaînette sont l'insigne de la fonction de maître de manœuvre et de second maître de manœuvre. 3, record 1, French, - sifflet%20de%20man%26oelig%3Buvre
