Fanny, английский
The semi-official name attached to a small round “mess kettle” of about eight pints (41?2 liters) capacity issued to british seamen. it had a grisly origin. in april 1867 a nine-year-old girl named frances (fanny) adams was murdered. her killer cut the body into small pieces, and some of these were rumored to have been found in nearby royal clarence victualing yard. this was almost exactly at the time that victualing yards began to issue cans of corned mutton to the fleet and, inevitably, the meat was nicknamed fanny adams. sailors found the opened cans (which resembled small paint pots) useful for carrying food and the name carried over to the official issue which appeared later.

Articles of war, английский
- Regulations governing the military and naval forces of uk and usa; read to every ship`s company on commissioning and at specified intervals during the commission.
- A code of rules and orders based on the act of parliament for the regulation and government of her majesty`s ships, vessels, and forces by sea: and as they are frequently read to all hands, no individual can plead ignorance of them. it is now termed the new naval code.—the articles of war for the land forces have a similar foundation and relation to their service; the act in this case, however, is passed annually, the army itself having, in law, no more than one year`s permanence unless so periodically renewed by act of parliament.
- In 1653, the british admiralty issued a disciplinary code entitled articles of war, intended to standardize shipboard punishment, which had previously been largely at the discretion of individual captains. these were incorporated in the naval discipline act of 1661, and amended by acts of parliament in 1749 and 1757. thirty-five articles defined what constituted a crime on naval vessels, and prescribed the appropriate punishment, which was death in about one-third of the cases. they fall into seven principal categories, covering a wide range of activities (not all of which are listed): 1. offenses against god and religion (blasphemy, observance of faith). 2. offenses against crown or government (arson, desertion, disobedience, espionage, mutiny, treason). 3. offenses against humanity (fighting, murder, quarrelling, sodomy, theft). 4. conditions of service (treatment of prisoners and prizes, carriage of merchandise, complaints about victuals, waste of ammunition). 5. failure of responsibility (errors, incompetence, infractions of duty). 6. actions in combat (cowardice, lack of initiative, indecision). 7. a “catch-all” clause, known colloquially as “the captain’s cloak,” gave considerable scope to local discretion, saying: all other crimes not capital committed by any person or persons in the fleet, which are not mentioned in this act, or for which no punishment is hereby directed to be inflicted, shall be punished by the laws and customs in such cases used at sea. the articles were treated with the gravity of holy writ, being read publicly at the commissioning of new warships, and to the entire ship’s company at timely intervals, usually by the captain when church was rigged on a sunday. they were amended many times, and remained in effect after the consolidation of britain’s armed forces in 1971. in 2004 they were changed to reflect european union human rights requirements, and in 2005 they were consolidated under the army, air force and naval discipline (continuation) order. comparable regulations for the united armed 28 states navy, called articles for the government of the navy, were superseded by the uniform code of military justice in 1951.
