How do you play ships and sailors?

Ships and Sailors is a group game typically played outdoors. Players are divided into two teams: ships and sailors. The "sailors" must avoid being tagged by the "ships," who try to catch them while following specific commands called out by a leader, such as "All hands on deck!" or "Man overboard!" When a sailor is tagged, they join the ships, and the game continues until all sailors are caught or a designated time limit is reached.
