SEQUENCE IN RENDERING
PASSING HONORS
Ships render passing honors in the following
sequence:
1. When the bow of one ship passes the bow or stern
of the other, the junior sounds attention when the
bow of one ship passes the bow or stern of the
other. If the senior is embarked in a boat, the
junior sounds attention before the boat is abreast
of the quarterdeck.
2. The music, if required, sounds off.
3. Carry on is sounded when the prescribed honors
have been rendered and acknowledged.
DISPENSING WITH
PASSING HONORS
Passing honors are not rendered after sunset or
before 0800 except when international courtesy
requires. They also are not exchanged between Navy
ships engaged in tactical evolutions outside port. The
senior officer present may direct that passing honors
be dispensed with in whole or in part.
Passing honors are not rendered by or required
of ships with small bridge areas, such as sub-marines,
particularly when in restricted waters.
CREW AT QUARTERS ON
ENTERING OR LEAVING PORT
The crew is paraded at quarters during day-light
on entering or leaving port on occasions of ceremony
except when weather or other circumstances make it
impracticable or undesirable to do so. Ordinarily,
occasions of ceremony are construed as visits that are
not operational; as visits at home port when
departing for or returning from a lengthy
deployment; as visits to foreign ports not visited
recently; and as other special occasions so determined
by a superior. In lieu of parading the entire crew at
quarters, an honor guard may be paraded in a
conspicuous place on weather decks.

UNION JACK, AND DISTINCTIVE
MARK FROM SHIPS AND CRAFT
