Thinking about POD with ancient naval battles (Salamis, Actium etc.), how did admirals control all their ships during battle when a battle had hundreds of ships, plus the ships had no real height to them to be able to see far. I never read anything about a flag system at that time (unlike age of sail).
Maybe your close enough to just yell.
It seems like you would have to have some general plan before hand and then events took over, or individual ships or squadrons would just have to make their own decision.
