On HM ships, the union jack is flown at the bow in harbour, the white ensign flown from the stern at all daylight hours, except aboard carriers for obvious reasons. Transfer of men and materials at sea between ships is called a jackstay transfer, probably because the jackstay would have been the mast support line on the beam of the ship, usually on the starboard side. Old sailors never die.
