Which three letters did SOS replace as the morse code for a distress signal?

i enjoy non-verbal languages but don't know the answer. at a guess ETE
(. - .) but i can't offer a sensible reason why that might be right other than the obvious.

Not ETE. It would make sense though.

I believe im right in saying that the titanic used this distress call.

CQD if I remember rightly.
Not sure about the CQ but im fairly certain the D was Distress.

Thats correct.
'Come Quick Danger' (not its actual meaning!)
I think the CQ was something to do with being the code for a message to anyone.
Over to you horny.

Anything to do with cost of energy to power modern machines is far more expensive than cheap slave labour on manual old ones??

no, but it does involve unhappy people.
