Which sequence of whistle commands corresponds to lowering, stopping, and dismissal of the lifeboat?

The action order starts with stopping to confirm the area is clear and all lines and positions are safe. Stop/Avast halts movement so the crew can verify everything is in place before any motion happens. Once you’ve confirmed safety, you issue the lowering signal to begin the descent of the lifeboat into the water. After the boat has been lowered and is clear of the fall lines, you give the dismissal signal to end the drill and release the crew from duty. This order prevents unsafe movement or miscommunication and ensures a controlled, safe lowering process.
