What does the term "Bravo Zulu" or "BZ" mean.

This is another question I periodically receive by email so I thought I'd put the full answer here.


The combination of the Bravo and Zulu nautical signal flags, e.g., 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.

So, let's see lots of Bravo Zulus in our form comments.
