who does the OOD report to
direct to CO - safe navigation & general operations
direct to XO - carry out the ship’s routine
navigator - sighting navigationa landmarks, course & speed change
topics OOD reports direct to CO
direct to CO for safe navigation & general operations
topics OOD reports directly to XO
carry out the ship’s routine
topics OOD reports directly to navigator
sighting navigation landmarks, course, & speed changes
has the most authority on a ship
OOD is the direct representative of the CO, acts with all authority of command, and qual as an OOD is a major career & critical surface milestone
importance of the first watch as OOD
first time they are fully in command of the ship. timehonored and unique distinction
accountability of a naval officer
“a naval officer is accountable for all actions good & bad”
role of “experts” in a training, learning, & collaborative environment
“experts” are assistances, never surrogates- so you can let your JOOD take/plot the navigation but you are responsible for itq
“with responsibility goes…”
“with responsibility goes authority and with both goes accountability”
Hobson’s Choice
a free choice in which only one thing is actually offered- illusion that multiple choices are available- “I’ll give you a choice; take it or leave it.” when “leaving it” is strongly undesirable
overarching responsibility of the CO
the CO is accountable for everything that happens on the ship so the OOD is responsible to the CO for all that happens on their watch
direct representative for CO
OOD is the CO’s direct rep- makes decisions for the safety of the ship & crew
what kind of judgement does the OOD need
judgement to balance priorities-OOD is constantly confronted with -the decision to decide without delay where to focus their attention
first mission of all OOD’s
safety of the ship & fulfillment of its mission
realism of OOD watch
OOD can’t exercise personal control over everything that happens during their watch even though they are theoretically responsible for it
problem if an OOD could attain “total control” durng their watch
emeshes the OOD in too much detail, draws away from aspects of ships operation over they must have direct control
engineer who reports to OOD
EOOW
relationship between the OOD & EOOW
engineering officer may need permission from OOD before a pulpulsion plant change happens- they must both understand each other’s role and the CO/ship party regarding
purpose of TAO
tactical action officer- to enhance weapon readiness and decrease response time-
who is the TAO
Tactical Action Officer- qualified OOD who knows weapon system capabilities and enemy threat/capabilities- must understand the ship’s critical weapons posture- has the authority to employ the ship’s wapn system and does watch in the CIC
where does the TAO do watch
Tactical Action Officer- qualified OOD who can employ the weapons system- does watch in the CIC. combat information center
exception under the rule that an OOD is the final decision maker
TAO: Tactical Action Officer. can employ the weapons system- often senior in rank & a DH so more experienced than the OOD- OPNAVIST 3120.32C is authorized to direct the OOD to include firing w/o OOD approval. if OOD doesn’t want to follow the TAO order, they must inform the CO
importance of vigilence on watch
safety
in charge of ship during tactical situations
TAO is on station and the OOD must understand it
what must the OOD do if the TAO is in charge
notify the CO if they aren’t comfortable with their decisions,even when the TAO is in charge, the OOD is still repsonsible for safety of the ship. the arrangement must be clearly understood by both parties.
what must the OOD do when they prepare to enter a harbor like NYC
review inland rules of hte road
who publishes the rules of the road
USCG Navigation RUles of the Roads
what must happen if there are any changes in course/speed
must follow orders of proper authority
examples of things the OOD must notify people of
XO, CDO, CO, DH need to be informed of all changes in tactical situation, operating schedule, weather, other circmstances that required a change in ship routine
why must the CHENG be involed in tactical situations
CHENG must know about power requirements and operating situation so they can operate ensuring
who gives permission for people to go outside in heavy weather
OOD
what must you quickly learn when you are new to a ship
when reporting to a ship, you must learn quickly about the ship, her organization, the people, and her mission
action taken if someone opens fittings in violation of the condition of material readiness
log name & rate of anyone who opens fittings in violation of the material conditions of readiness- name/rank of requestor, how long open/time closed anyone w/o permission to open is in violation and will be the subject of a report
first duty of JOOD
check in with watchstanders
oral OOD turnover
“I am ready to relieve you, sir/ma’am”“I am ready to be relived”“I relieve you, SIr”“I am relieved”- key word: ready. when you way you are ready, you are saying that you have made all necessary preparations, gathered all availble information/readiness but an oral
what is said on the 1MC instead of”muster’
“please assuemble”
topside speakers in ports
many foreign ports prohibit use of topside speakers unless emergency
OOD’s enlisted assistent
BMOW
BMOW
enlisted assistant of OOD- they should feel responsible fo the watch routine, appearnecne, make sure all slots are properly filled and prperly relieved
effect of too many 1MC announcements
general 1MC announcements are disruptive if they are lengthly or frequency
role of BMOW
enlisted support to OOD but also is responsible for hte ngeneral appearnece of hte watch
things to know about our ship when the OOD’s turnover
- beam, length, draft, displacement- fuel/water capacity- fuel consumption at various speeds- most economical speeds- max speed available under different boiler conditions- gas turbines/diesel- capabilities/limitations of the weapons systems senses- angles for standard, full, & hard rudder - location/normal use of all radio/communications-preparation to enter/leave port- operation of radar repeaters- prep/safety of raise/lower boats- UREP - trash/garbage, billage, oil spills, environmental protecton- characteristics/limitations of onboard aircraft- preparation in event of heavy eather- thumb rules/quick procedures for “measuring the situation”-
lee helm
tendency of a sailboard to turn away from the wind while under sail(opposite of weather helm)

know before you relieve the watch
- course, speed, position, intended , - water/depth, predicted set/drift, navigation aids- weather, barometric, - lifeboat status- tactical position & the ship’s position in the formation- all unexecuted orders- readiness of weapons systems, engineering plant, damage control- location ofCO- contents of the plan of the day- status of embarked aircraft

radio etiquette when you introduce phonetic spelling
“I spell”
one of the most important benchmarks of JO potential”
watchstanding at sea b/c that means they trust your judgment, abilitiy
you have control of hte ship
“you have the conn”
response when someone says “I have the con”
“aye ai sir, ma’am”
where is the CO’s location for general quarters
CO’s general quarters location is the CIC, not the bridge b/c CIC has added inofmration not available int eh bridge
what is a critical factor during helicopter ops
winds is a critical factor when helicopters are being operatied
what does the pilot do when they are ready
when the helicopter is ready, the pilot requests a “green deck” for takeoff-response: told fo wind direction, velocity, altimeter, ship

opening/closing hatches
matter of safety.
if watertight integrity is maintined, the ship can stay afloat
material casualties
OOD must be concerned w/how a casualty affects performance of a ship, maneuverbility, safety of a ship
- NOT how to do repairs or how long they’ll take. those don’t contribute to add to the problem and impede correction if OOD asks too many questions

what is on the side of hte ablest navigator
winds and waves are always on the sid eof the ablest navigator
what indicates a colliion is imminent
a steady bearing w/decreased range means the collon is imminentwho is often responsible in ggrounding errorsground errors are often responsibility of hte navigator. most grounding errors are violations of hte basic principles of navigation
errors taht lead to grounding
- laying down the ship intended track too close to known shoal water or too shallow for ship’s draft- failure to plot danger and turn bearings on chartistics- reliance on radar- failure of OOD to nofify CAPT/navigators as soon as doubtul of safety - improper applicatino of known gyro error-0 failure to use visual aids- failure to have access to latest edition of Nitoice to Mariner- failure to use dead recknoning plot effectively0 failrue to fix position by distance run between succesful bearings when only are landmarks ID- failure to stop and assess position or take emergenycy actions if in doubt of s89afe pston9- fail to use fathometer and line of soundigns- failure to account for set and drift to apply the ]proper course corection0- mss IDfixted aids to navigation- failure to adjust course to remain in dead reckoning travel- failr to take fixes frequently enougght- too much reliance on nonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnart54ds to navigation like buyoys MOST ERRORS IN GROUNDIGN ARE R/T violations of basic principles of navigation

- q fix/running fix
- q line of position
- each time new course
