Okay, here's one for you. About 25 years ago, my friend was given a set of these disks when he was into boating in NY State. Each disk is about 3 1/2" across and 3/8" thick. Can anyone figure out their function?

I would guess caps for the tubes that held the flags shown. Those flags being the alphabet flags using the international flag and pennant marking system.
The symbols shown on this cap are for letters (starting top center then clockwise) SAOCRET
Most have addidtional meanings as well..
S= sierra = Engines going astern
A= alpha = Diver down: keep clear
O= oscar = man overboard...

and so on...
