So (navy school in Va.) says kcbrown is right (about) would be the correct answer. See we do have experts!!!

I was just going to say, you asked, you have the right answer, THE EXPERT has spoken. It is used in terms of turning the ship 180*. If such a move was made, you'd hear announced, "PREPARE TO COME ABOUT!!". It is not a gentle turning of the ship.
On the rescue/salvage ship I am a plank owner of, we'd list so far over you could stand on the bulkhead with both feet.
The best way to get to where you want to be in the future is to act like you are there TODAY.

Well OK I thought giving you credit was good but without a co word about is useless. Unless you add turn about or come about or about face what do you have? If you gave a command of about where would it get you?

Just messing with you. The reference to "retreat" made me think of the urgency of "come about", with "about" being very exact in it's meaning of 180*. Retreat = go the other way.
