a.true bearing and distance example.take station bearing 170 degree distance five miles from the guide.
b.a lelative bearing and distance example.take station 30 degree on the station board bow of KD BELADAU sistance five miles.
c.a general relative area such as the or the rear approximate distance may be included.
0126.course
a. a signal course the signalled course
is the true course which is being or which is to be steered that is the compass course corrected foy gyro variation and diviation.
b. base course.a reference course or direction desired to be made good when evasive steering such as zigzagging is ordered a base course is to be signalled course alteration do not change the base course unless specifically signalled.
0127.speed while maneuvering
a.method of ordering. the signal speed will be odered by signal or issued in order to the formation.if will also be signalled to any unit joining.
b. reserve speed for station keeping when ship are maneuvering the signalled speed should be appreciably less than maximum speed so as to leave a reserve of power for talking up and keeping atation.on other occasion one knot less than the speed leaves a sufficient margin for station keeping.
c.establishing station speed. the used of speed slower than operational speed normally enables changes of station to be completed within an acceptable time. this speed know as stationing speed should be previously established either by signal or in operation order particularly when substantial economy of fuel will result.when a stationing speed has been odered this does not restrict the OTC from the signalling any speed up to the operation speed.
0128.ship as an anchoring reference.when a ship is ordered to anchor with reference to another ship the reference ship is to identify herself to the incoming ship.
a.providing identification.
