the whole point of the green and red lights are for the observer to tell wether the ship / plane is travelling towards or away from you. so if the red is on your left you are facing and therefore travelling in the same direction, if its on the right then the opposite

Unless the ship is full astern!

 

Therefore the use of steaming lights on the fo'c's'le and bridge is needed to make an accurate assessment of travel

That brings to mind the easiest way you explain port/starboard.

Port is a drink that should be left alone... ;)

Or perhaps: There is no Port Left in the bottle...

 

I would think the sailors among us would prefer saying this...
