Graeme et al: It's no better in the nautical world, at least where naval aviation is concerned. In the USN we launch off the catapult and (before mirrors devised by the RN) landed according to signals from the landing signal officer. In the Royal Nivey they launched off the "booster" and followed signals of the "batsman." During a cross-deck evolution in the Med during the late 40s Wally Schirra said the only words that were universally translatable all began with "F."
