The topics that I learned from the Midterm are the glossary of terms related
to my course. Some of these terms are always used onboard.

DISEMBARK (TO) - To go from a vessel
DROP BACK - To increase the distance from the vessel ahead by
reducing one's own speed
CLOSE UP (TO) - To decrease the distance to the vessel ahead by

Example:
I don’t know the terms that are used in onboard ship. The captain gave
orders abandon the vessel, not knowing what the abandon vessel is. I drop
the anchor. So it’s really important to study these terms for a safe
navigating at sea.
