Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Other : *Focus article on the topic of saluting; Saluting at land and saluting at other ships. Near-shore sail-bys to give cruising tourists a better view of the shore seems to be another topic that should be mentioned, but must not be confused with saluting even though there is an obvious overlap.
- Explain what the salute is. Is it the close maneuver or a blast from the horn?
- Move article to more appropriate name. "Nautical salute" or Salute (nautical)? There must be an established label for this convention.
- How common is this practice with commecial transports and with private transports?
