With which phrase is the abbreviation SOS associated?

I always only heard of save our ship but it just now occurred to me that it's SOS only because it's the fastest and easiest Morse code to decipher. It became an acronym many years later. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. 🤔

munsme, It is not an acronym, sos is an abbreviation. An acronym is an abbreviation that also makes a word, or is formed into a word. For example NASA is not each letter but said as a word.

Player Say what!?, SOS is an abbreviation not an acronym. An acronym is an abbreviation that makes a word. For example NASA is an acronym. That’s a fact, and I am sticking to it

calicot, don't board a ship
