The Coast Guard boat will use her whistle or horn or a megaphone or visual signals ... to attract your attention. ... It may be necessary for the Coast Guard craft to fire a blank warning shot. If these fail to produce any result, the Coast Guard vessel is then justified in firing warning shots well clear of the fleeing craft and in assuming that she is endeavoring...
