Date Posted: Wednesday, January 23, 11:51:30am In reply to: terry{scouse} 's message, "heres one for you kev" on Saturday, January 19, 09:10:59pm A gin pennnant means that the wardroom is inviting officers from ships in company to drinks.The origins are uncertain but seems to have been used since the 1940's-maybe earlier. It was a small green triangular pennant about 18" x 9". defaced with a wine glass. Nowadays the pennant is a starboard one defaced with a wine or cocktail glass. Its colour size & position when hoisted were all significant as the aim was for the pennant to be as inconspicious as possible so that fewer ships saw it. The pennant is still used by the Royal Australian Navy. I OWN UP TO CHEATING (used WIKIPAEDIA) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
