I know for sure they had them out of Freemantle and Brisbane. I think they had them out of Pearl and Midway too.
You get corvette or something take you out, he'd then give you a "God's Speed" or "Happy Hunting" message over the blinker signal and turn for home.
Also when approaching for rendevous with escort on returns to port, there would be coded lightgun messages and coded responses for patroling ships and planes. If you see a plane diving in on you with a light blinking on it, you better be quick on the response and use the correct response or you'd get bombed before you had the chance to re-do it.
