бакборт (Port and starboard are nautical and aeronautical terms which refer to the left and right sides, respectively, of a waterborne vessel or aircraft as perceived by a person on board facing the front of the craft. An easy way to remember this is that port and left are both four-letter words, which only leaves starboard as the opposite side. At night, the port side of a vessel or aircraft is indicated with a red navigation light and the starboard side with a green one. WK Alexander Demidov) |
