You are right that a form of morse might be time consuming, but I think this is a good idea that might work well, especially if their version of morse was specifically developed with short abbreviations and team communication in mind. It also has the capacity to be pretty quiet if necessary, which could be handy for stealth. | |

Unrelated to your answer per se, but SOS is a prosign, not three distinct letters. Sent properly in Morse code, it's ...---... with no extra spacing (not ... --- ..., as if it were three letters), but with the "dashes" elongenated to be clearly distinguishable from the "dots". Writing it out as SOS is just convention; for example VTB would also come out to ...---... if sent as a prosign.
