Know your Nautical terminology
Naval Courtesy
When a superior officer informs a ssubordinate of information or intent, NOT an order, the proper reply is, "Very good, sir." When an enlisted member informs an officer or a subordinate officer informs a superior of information or intent, the proper reply is, "Very well." The difference is subtle but meaningful. This is more rigidly adhered to in the Royal Navy than in the US Navy.
In French there are two different forms of the pronoun, 'you', tu and vous. These are the familiar and formal respectively. In all branches of the French military the use of the familiar is strictly forbidden regardless of who is speaking to whom.
