At one minute before the preparative pennant is shaken to alert those involved in the ceremony to come to attention. On observing this, a report to that effect is made to the Officer-of-the-Day OOD by duty watch personnel. At one minute before sunset the preparative pennant is shaken to alert those involved in the ceremony to come to attention.
Today the inclusion of Beat to Quarters honours the courage and sacrifice of the men and women of the Royal Australian Navy through more than a century of service during war and peace. Following Beat to Quarters the drummers retire to the band and the guard advances to commence the age old naval tradition of saluting the lowering of the Ensign at sunset each day. I thought this was worth mentioning, since it copies Russian practice. There was also a photo of a frigate underway with jack and ensign flying from bow and stern in the normal manner, and another ensign flying at the masthead, in the position where you'd expect a rank flag to be hoisted.
What the significance of this is I don't know. Tom Gregg, 15 July When a warship is underway, this is how it "dresses overall" on ceremonial occasions. It's quite logical when one thinks about -- having all those flags suspended from the masthead to both the bow and stern is bound to get in the way of its operations if it were to go to sea like that -- just think of what would happen if one of the lines twisted in a rotating radar dish, or some such thing!
In the Canadian navy the terms used to distinguish between the two scenarios are: a dressing overall; and b dressing with masthead flags. Glen R. Hodgins, 15 July I agree with that explanation ; but in French Navy, we also use "petit pavois" for smaller occasion, or when the ship does not have possibility to put "grand pavois" e g when under repairs, or when a very small ship, Armand du Payrat, 16 July One little quibble; it would not be "normal" to have a jack flying on a naval vessel that was under way.
This is a ship that is "dressed" as opposed to "dressed overall". It is probably entering or leaving a harbour where ships that are not under way are dressed overall. David Prothero, 16 July I agree with all that was already said about dressing of a ship, I only wanted to mention another term for it. In the Croatian Navy and possibly it may be influenced by Italian terminology - what's the dressing called in Italian? As said before, the "dressing overall" grand pavois etc is used of the most solemn occasions and the "dressing" petit pavois is used for lesser festivities, or when for whatever reason the overall dressing is impossible or unpractical.
There is a well established international protocol concerning the conduct of a foreign ship in a harbour when dressing is prescribed as well as the conduct of the ship that intend to perform the dressing in a foreign harbour. The U. Navy dips the U. Navy Regulations, article "When any vessel, under United States registry or the registry of a nation formally recognized by the Government of the United States, salutes a ship of the Navy by dipping her ensign, it shall be answered dip for dip.
If not already being displayed, the national ensign shall be hoisted for the purpose of answering the dip. An ensign being displayed at half-mast shall be hoisted to the truck or peak before a dip is answered. No ship of the Navy shall dip the national ensign unless in return for such compliment. As long as the U.
Navy or the Royal Navy don't take offense at a foreign warship's not dipping its ensign, there's nothing necessarily arrogant about this policy--it simply reflects an assumption that warships don't salute each other by dipping their ensigns. Instead, according to U.
Navy regulations article I think there was a time when the RN insisted on all ships rendering such salutes to HM warships, but I believe that's in the distant past. Joe McMillan, 16 April A military vessel never salutes a civil vessel - but if the civil vessel salutes the naval vessel, it always salutes back.
At least that's the case in Sweden. Also, in earlier times, a naval ship who lowered its flag did this as a sign of surrender. Therefore, you don't want to be the first to do so, but if the other vessel does it, you can do it too to show that you have no hostile intentions but will let the other vessel move on. Elias Granqvist, 15 April Speaking as a retired professional naval officer and former communications specialist responsible in our navy for naval ceremonial at sea and ashore , I have followed the discussion about flag dipping both at sea and ashore over the last few days with great interest.
In general, the rules concerning these matters, particularly at sea, are international in character with only minor differences between nations, and have developed over the centuries mostly among the Atlantic navies.
The correct rendering of salutes at sea is today a matter of ceremonial and protocol, but in the past it was at times literally a matter of war or peace. I recall that one of the Anglo-Dutch Wars started because a Dutch admiral refused to dip his colours and or sails at a British fleet in the Channel. Warships never dip their ensigns, except in answer to such a salute by a merchant vessel. This is a courtesy nowadays honoured more in the breach than the practice.
Warships render salutes when meeting at sea, not by dipping their ensigns, but by rendering what is termed 'passing honours'. This can be done either by parading a band very rare these days , sounding a bugle call, or using the bosun's call.
The junior ship sounds the 'attention or still' according to the practice of that navy, wait for the senior ship to do the same and sound the 'carry on', and then sound the 'carry on' also. With a band available, the national anthem of the senior ship might also be played if known - if not, the own anthem is played instead.
