execution
When high guests come on board or leave the ship in ports , all soldiers on the upper deck and on the pier turn to the person in the basic position ; they “make the front”. The front is also given to the captain of your own ship when he arrives in uniform . In addition, there is a whistle when he enters the Stelling and comes on board.
At sea, large, old and famous ships are overtaken on their starboard side . The crew stands side by side in a passing line-up on the port side and greets the ship or the commanding officer of the unit. The front is also common across memorials . She commands every German and foreign warship to pass the Laboe Naval Memorial .
If two warships meet at sea (within earshot, in daylight), the front whistles are also whistled, and the ship with the lower-ranking commander pays homage first.
On ships of the German Navy , the front line is whistled by the officer on watch with the battery whistle. To port is long − short − short with the announcement "Front to port!", To starboard long − short with "Front to starboard!"
Officers and NCOs with portepee salute militarily . The front ends with two short whistles and the announcement “Stir yourselves!”.
