Ships are often designed to have their plans facing starboard due to the convention of docking on the port side, which is the left side when facing forward. This orientation allows for easier access to the ship's controls and systems from the more commonly used side. Additionally, having the plans starboard-facing helps standardize operations and improves safety during loading and unloading. This practice also aligns with maritime regulations and industry standards for vessel design.

What is Crossing the T in Naval Warfare?

"Crossing the T", an obsolete but classic Naval warfare tactic. It refers to the tactic used in the days when a line of ships (then using cannons/guns) would form a line and cross the enemy line of ships. In the case of the crossing line, the ships would be facing the enemy line from the port or starboard side (broadside), while the enemy line would be facing forward (only the forward guns could be brought to bear). As each ship crossed the T, all it guns could fire on the enemy line, while the enemy ships could only use its forward guns. The last time it was used in combat was in 1944 at the Battle of Surigao Strait.Since the tactic requires the ships involved to be in a battle line formation, it fell out of use as the use of aircraft bombs and missiles, as well as ship and submarine launched anti-ship cruise missiles, have essentially rendered naval guns obsolete, at least for surface combatant engagements.The term is also used for navigation, where one vessel is trying to intercept another at a given point - where the T is crossed.
