"Nancy Hanks!" "Nancy Hanks!"
First off, Nancy Hanks, was Abraham Lincoln's Mother's maiden name.
Her name became a "Code Name", used by the U. S. Navy in WWII.

There is no sense asking you what it meant - it was "Classified", and only "Signalmen" knew what it meant. Also - you were not even born yet.

It was a "night vision" system for sending signals. At that time it was called "Dark Light" or "Black Light". You need special attachments on the signal light and special goggles to see the signals. Very Spooky!

It was also easy to find "Frogmen" swimming in a pitch black ocean.
Any Questions? Post them.
