Port & starboard

Captains very often instruct a carrier to turn by giving a compass bearing to aim towards. They will also specify the direction the ship should turn to reach the bearing. For immersion purposes this will be dictated as being told to turn "port" or "starboard".

"Port" is the left side of the ship. "Starboard" is the right side of the ship.

A simple way to remember is to note that "left" and "port" both have 4-letters, and so match.

Example

The ship is currently traveling towards bearing 270°. The captain says to you: "Change heading to 315°, starboard." You will turn the carrier to the right until your interface reads bearing 315°.
