| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. There are many customs and traditions associated with the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. These include formal customs including separate crests associated with ships, ensigns, and fleet reviews. There are also several less formal customs and traditions like the naval slang commonly referred to as Jack Speak, and the traditional game of Uckers. This book studies customs and traditions of the Royal Navy including White ensign, Green ensign, battle honour, Covey Crump, and Heart of Oak. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
