The combination of the Bravo and Zulu nautical signal flags, i.e., Bravo Zulu, also referred to as "BZ," is a naval signal, typically conveyed by flaghoist or voice radio, meaning "Well Done" with regard to actions, operations or performance. In addition to the British Royal Navy, it has also been used as part of vernacular slang within the U.S. Navy, NATO, and other Allied naval forces. It can be combined with the "negative" signal, spoken or written as NEGAT, to say "NEGAT Bravo Zulu" to convey "not well done" for a given action.

| - The combination of the Bravo and Zulu nautical signal flags, i.e., Bravo Zulu, also referred to as "BZ," is a naval signal, typically conveyed by flaghoist or voice radio, meaning "Well Done" with regard to actions, operations or performance. In addition to the British Royal Navy, it has also been used as part of vernacular slang within the U.S. Navy, NATO, and other Allied naval forces. It can be combined with the "negative" signal, spoken or written as NEGAT, to say "NEGAT Bravo Zulu" to convey "not well done" for a given action. "BZ" is widely used as shorthand vernacular amongst members of the sea services (i.e., navies, Marines, and those coast guards that are military services versus civilian agencies). In the Royal Navy, when the sovereign wishes to reward the crew of a British warship with the order to "splice the mainbrace," i.e., providing the crew with an additional rum ration, it is ordinarily followed simply with the signal or statement "Bravo Zulu."

- Bravo Zulu is een marine-signaal, waarbij door middel van seinvlaggen of radio de mededeling "Well done" of "goed gedaan" wordt doorgegeven. Het wordt ook gebruikt in het taalgebruik van diverse marines. Het kan een negatieve betekenis krijgen door het voorvoegsel "negatieve" in de zin van "NEGAT Bravo Zulu" met de betekenis "not well done" of "niet goed gedaan". "Bravo Zulu" komt uit het geallieerd maritiem signalenboek (ATP 1 Volume 2, tegenwoordig ook MTP 1 vol 2), een internationaal codeboek in gebruik bij de NAVO. Tot vroegere tijden had iedere marine zijn eigen codes waardoor het moeilijk internationaal communiceren was. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog bleek dat er behoefte was aan een eenduidige communicatie waarna in 1949 het signalenboek tot stand kwam. (nl)
