The answer should read "at intervals of not more than two minutes" rather than "every two minutes". This is to prevent two ships in fog having synced fog signal. You need to be able to make signals in fog and listen as well.

Great point Seahawkhelo, moreover, it allows us to sound the proper whistle signals more often that every 2 minutes; so longs as it is not so often it cristae another signal.
