The Lounge / Nautical or Aviation terms?

« on: May 31, 2014, 12:28:14 pm »

So which do you use the most when giving orders to the crew?

Do you consider the ship more of an Aviation vessel, maneuvering the Yaw and Pitch and Thrust?

Or do you consider the ship more of a Nautical vessel, telling your men to prep the starboard guns for the line of battle?

Also, anybody wish to add to lists of each sets of words?

The easiest would be:
Port - Left of ship
Starboard - Right of ship
Bow - Front of Ship
Stern - Behind ship
Keel - direct bottom of ship, usually referring to a particular structure of the base
Ahead - Forward motion
Astern - backward motion (probably only for airships)

I'm curious if there are any others that would be nice to add.

"All guns port to starboard, enemy vessel due south-southeast! Prepare to fire upon De Welly!...Die Well? Fuck it, just shoot the damn thing!"

(Enemy Ship Name: "Die Welle")

Cap'n: "WE WILL SHOW THEM THE LAW OF BUSHIDO!"
Gunner: "THEY HAVE NO HONOR"
Cap'n: "THEY FLEE DISHONORABLY"
Gunner: "SHAMEFUHR DISPRAY"
