Nautical Command is a term used to describe the authority of a captain or other officer in charge of a ship. The term can be broken down into three parts: AVAST (5 letters), Easeto (6 letters), and Hardalee (8 letters). AVAST is an interjection used to tell someone to stop or desist, Easeto is a nautical command meaning 'to ease off' or reduce speed, and Hardalee is a nautical command meaning 'to turn the ship to the left'. Together, these three commands form the basis of Nautical Command, which is the authority of a captain or other officer in charge of a ship.
