most welcome from any of our visitors.
I/we enjoy making this website available for our friends and Navy family to visit. We frequently get email from folks thanking us for making the site available. Especially when they've been able to link up with old mates or get information about their old ship mates. Now and then a special email get's our attention and we'll post it here.
Thanks to you all for your support and praise. E-mail me here or send me (the webmaster) Snail Mail:- John Hogg 10/6-12 Hindmarsh Ave, North Wollongong, NSW Australia 2500
The term originates from the Allied Signals Book (ATP 1), which in the aggregate is for official use only. Signals are sent as letters and/or numbers, which have meanings by themselves sometimes or in certain combinations. A single table in ATP 1 is called "governing groups," that is, the entire signal that follows the governing group is to be performed according to the "governor." The letter "B" indicates this table, and the second letter (A through Z) gives more specific information. For example, "BA" might mean "You have permission to . . . (do whatever the rest of the flashing light, flag hoist or radio transmission says) "BZ" happens to be the last item in the governing groups table. It means "well done".
