Dipping
To dip a flag that is being carried means to lower it by turning it forward from an upright position to 45° or horizontal. This is done as a sign of respect or deference. It is done by lowering to half-mast and returning to full mast position. To dip the flag on a merchant vessel passing a naval vessel involves lowering the stern flag to the half-mast position and back to the truck as the vessels pass abeam of each other. The half-mast position in this case being one flag width from the truck as in the case of half mast. - ⁕Flag dip at sea in the merchant navy ⁕ The German cargo ship Helga Howaldt to starboard of us ⁕ Now abeam of us with dippt flag ⁕ and now astern, the dipped flag and the house flag at the top of the mainmast - Some jurisdictions have laws that discourage or prohibit the dipping of the national flag; these include the United States, India, Philippines and South Africa.
