On approach all uniformed members should line the foredeck with the skipper nearest the bow with the vessel at one boat length from the marina.
Crew should lower the ensign as the foredeck party comes to attention and salutes.
On passing the base, the RAN Commodore will return the salute.
The vessel will then proceed to formation.
