A twenty one gun salute is a military (army and navy) honour for Heads of State. This is thought to come about for the early days of gunpowder which was very hard to keep dry on ships.

Heil is a form of greeting. So it was natural to use this term to greet Adolf Hitler. The Nazi stiff-arm salute that was used when saying this originated from the ole Roman salute. Hitler may have adopted this from his first visit with Mussolini in Italy.
The term "military brig" originates from the word "brigade," which refers to a unit of soldiers. The term "brig" itself is derived from the Latin "briga," meaning a "hill" or "high ground," and was historically used to describe a fortified position or a stronghold. In naval contexts, a "brig" also refers to a type of sailing vessel, which further influenced its usage in military terminology. Over time, "brig" has come to denote specific military structures, such as brigades or facilities for detaining military personnel.

Originally the salute was not a salute but when Medieval Knights happened to cross paths they would raise the visor of their helmets in order to be identified. This developed into the hand salute. Also the sword salute is a derivative of the ancient knights in which the knight would kiss the cross-member of the sword before going into battle. The following explanation of the origin of the hand salute is perhaps closest to the truth: It was an established military custom for juniors to remove their headgear in the presence of superiors. In the British Army as late as the American Revolution a soldier saluted by removing his hat. But with the advent of more cumbersome headgear in the 18th and 19th centuries, the act of a gentleman removing his hat was gradually converted into the simpler gesture of grasping the visor, and issuing a courteous salutation. From there it finally became conventionalized into something resembling our modern hand salute. As early as 1745 (more than 250 years ago) a British order book states that: "The men are ordered not to pull off their hats when they pass an officer, or to speak to them, but only to clap up their hands to their hats and bow as they pass."

If it is a commissioned U. S. Navy vessel and you are in uniform, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located at the fantail or aft end of the ship and salute the Ensign. Then face and salute the Officer of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". If you are in civilian attire, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located on the fantail or aft end of the ship. Then face the Office of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". I don't think civilian vessels stand on ceremony very much.
I'm not sure what you mean by "at a right angle," but here is the proper way to salute: "To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart." This information came from http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html While it is not stated how to place the hand over the heart, it is customary to place the palm of the hand toward the chest.
