When a woman falls overboard you say full speed ahead.

However you can also say woman overboard.

Jut like when you say a man falls overboard you say man overboard I would say woman overboard.

When someone falls overboard someone and people should be alerted and they should be thrown a flotation device if possible.

Reduce speed and toss the victim a PFD—preferably a throwable type—unless you know he or she is already wearing a PFD.

Turn your boat around and slowly pull alongside the victim, approaching the victim from downwind or into the current, whichever is stronger.

Stop the engine.

If you have a boat you should wear life jackets and keep flotation and safety devices on the boat with you as well.

If you're on a ship and you see someone fall overboard whether it's a woman, man or child.

The person who sees the accident must raise the alarm by shouting “Man overboard!” loud and clear enough to alert the rest of the crew.

They should remain in place in order to maintain continuous visual contact with the victim.
