R1 = To be calculated
R2,R3,R4,R6,R7 = 1M
R5 = 1K
P1 = 100K PRESET
C1,C2,C3 = 0.22uF
C4 = 10uF/25V
D1-D8 = 1N4148
T1 = 2N2222
T2 = BC557
IC1 = 4060
IC2 = 4017

Morse code application in Navy:

Navy people use this Morse code to send messages to other ships. They will send a distress signal or help to others ship when they are in need. This is Morse code signal. As the days change, they will send this distress signal in the form of audio this is also a morse code signal. 

Example:


In Titanic ship, when it sudden struck to the iceberg, the captain Edward Smith gave the orders for the distress signals.
One of the wireless manager Jack Phillips sends the message as SOS. It means Save Our Ship or Save Our Souls.
In short form they give the signal message as   ...---...

Example 2:

Navy people will signal the other ship using the lights by switching ON and OFF in a code form; that sequence of ON and OFF of light is also in Morse code.

Figure: Navy people sends the signal by switching the lights ON and OFF
