- Дать слабину
- Release a line slowly. paying-off pendant: although there is no proper specification or authorization, it has long been the custom of rn ships returning to pay off after a foreign commission to unofficially wear a long white pendant with a saint george’s cross at the hoist and a balloon or bladder at the fly to keep it clear of the water. it is hoisted on leaving the foreign station, and worn when arriving at the home port to pay off, as well as when entering and leaving any intermediate stops. originally, crews stitched all their cleaning rags together and hoisted them to show they were no longer needed. later, proper pendants were made on board as a communal effort, with each member of the ship’s company putting in a few stitches. more recently, they are purchased ashore by the ship’s welfare fund. there are several unofficial “rules” (customs, really) concerning the length of the pendant; most of them relating to either the length of the ship or the height of its foremast, which is incremented for each month on a foreign station (often by 12 inches). u.s. naval vessels do not pay off, but continue the tradition with their homeward-bound pennants.
