There are (at least) two types of passing, one vessel overtaking and
then going ahead of another and vessels on opposite courses approaching
each other. My understanding is that "meet me on one" refers to a port
to port passing of the second type. What is the corresponding
terminology for a a passing (overtaking) of the first type?
Yes, that's correct. One whistle always mean you are turning to port or may
turn to port so stay clear that way.
For overtaking, the same applies. The overtaken vessel maintains course and
speed, while the overtaking vessel sounds one whistle to indicate he may turn
to the right to pass on the overtaken vessel's starboard side, with two blasts
indicating the overtaking vessel may turn the to left in order to pass on the
other fellows port side.
