Collective term covering traditional compliments to greet a distinguished guest, salute a passing vessel, respect the colors, or recognize a special occasion. see salutes and courtesies, passing honors, side honors, battle honors. at 4:30 a.m. on 15th july 1815, captain frederick maitland of hms bellerophon (affectionately known to the lower deck as “belly rough’n”) faced a difficult problem of protocol. napoleon bonaparte, who had abdicated following military defeat at waterloo, was coming aboard. should the former emperor of france he be given full honors as a head of state (manning the yards, firing a royal gun salute, etc.), or should he be considered a prisoner of war entitled to no honors? taking advantage of the royal navy custom of normally rendering honors only between 8 a.m. and sunset, he came up with an astute compromise. it was daylight, but only 6 a.m., so napoleon was piped aboard and greeted by an honor guard of royal marines, who snapped to attention, but did not present arms.
