Own Ship
From The Dreadnought Project
Jump to navigationJump to search
Own Ship is often used in discussions of Navigation, Fire Control or Torpedo Control to concisely identify the ship the protagonist is in. Often (of course!), there is some other person of low moral standing and responsive to national imperatives notable for their villainy whose vessel is referred to as the "target" or "enemy" ship.
The idiom extends to other fairly easily parsed terms such as "Own Speed" or "Own Heading".
