  1. (not-comparable) Between ships.
    • Calling must occur on the frequency 156.800 MHz and at least one appropriate intership frequency. 1986 September 2, 47 CFR §80.115(a)(4)
    • VHF channels 2 and 5 are intership channels comparable to channel 40 and intended to be used in the same manner, but for distances of less than 50 miles. 1955, Great Lakes and Inland Waterways, volumes 15-17, page 9:
    • It may occasionally be necessary to call a vessel on channel 16 but the message should be passed on an intership channel. 2008, Sara Hopkinson, VHF Afloat:
    • While there is much experimental work yet to be done before the present system is reliable for intership communication, or before any two systems can work within the same field without each rendering the other useless, such progress has been made by the Government experimenters that, with no interference by private systems, stations can be successfully operated over at least 150 miles of coast line, and they are now in operation on the North Carolina and Virginia coasts, and soon will be instituted between the Farallone Islands and the mainland and Tatoosh Island and the mainland, on the Pacific coast. 1901, Report of the Secretary of Agriculture,https://www.google.com/books/edition/Report_of_the_Secretary_of_Agriculture/eAtEAQAAMAAJ page 15
    • Though some repositioning was performed during the dual-Doppler scanning, Mirai tended not to move around as much as the Thompson. Moreover, due to the 360° FOV, ship heading did not affect scanning coverage. The above approach enabled the two vessels to perform coordinated scanning by just sticking to the agreed-upon update cycle, which was negotiated prior to the operations period, with relatively little intership communication required. 2026 May 14, Timothy J. Lang, Brenda Dolan, Kyle Chudler, “Combined Dual-Doppler and Polarimetric Radar Observations of Maritime Tropical Convection over the Western Pacific Ocean during the PISTON 2018 Campaign”, in Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, volume 83, number 5, →DOI, →ISSN, page 785:
