U/W OOD Flashcards
What is the U/W OOD’s responsibilities?
- in charge of the ships safety and performance of duties
What is the CONN responsible for?
Is responsible for the movement of the ship, navigation, monitoring vessel traffic, collision avoidance, contact reports, etc
What is the DECK responsible for?
Is responsible for taking reports, monitoring communications, POD, etc
What is the EOW responsible for?
To assist the OOD in operating and maneuvering the ship and ensuring systems are operational
What is the CIC Watch Supervisor responsible for?
Is responsible to maintain awareness of the surface and air tactical situation
What is the XO’s responsibility?
Is responsible for the general duties of the ship. XO may assume charge of the deck
What is the Navigator’s responsibilities?
Usually the OPS, may order course and speed changes
What is the Tactical Action Officer responsible for?
The TAO, during GQ, OOD is subordinate to the TAO. TAO is in charge of fighting the ship
What is the best indicator for Risk Of Collision?
A visual bearing drift by alidade is the best indicator of ROC
What is Extremis?
Point in which collision cannot be avoided by the action of the give way vessel alone. 1600 yrs or 12x the length of our vessel
What shall you do if you reach Extremis?
- pipe CO to the bridge
- sound 5 or more short blasts and attempt comms with the other vessel
- endure the helm and engines are ready for maneuver
- check for any hazards to navigation or anything else for a turn to STBD
- at 1500 yards sound another 5 or more short blasts, turn the STBD to match the vessels true course and increase speed. This will reduce the rate of closure, increase the rate of turn, and provide the other vessel with a visible clue of what your doing
What are the two modes of navigation for the CGC KIMBALL?
- Automated Plotting - installed eNav System with automatic positioning input, used as a primary means of navigation
- Manual Plotting - installed eNav System with manual positioning input, used as primary means of navigation
Or, traditional paper navigation, using manual positioning input, is used as primary means of navigation, usually due to eNav failure.
What is another planned use of paper navigation?
Is done for proficiency and training or when there is a lack of electronic chart availability
Seaman’s Eye
Is defined as navigation based on an extensive knowledge of the local area to include aids to navigation, terrestrial landmarks, and depth contours. If it’s coupled with all other available navigational tools, can be used by COXN’s as a primary method of boats navigation and to maintain the situational awareness of the boats position. For cutters it can be used to correlate what is being displayed on electronic navigation systems with what’s being observed visually
What are the preferred electronic charts for CG navigation systems?
Vector charts
What are the different electronic charts we have?
Vector charts - consists of points, lines, and data that represent real world objects and are stored as a separate data file that can be queried by chart users
- ENC - electronic nav chart
- IENC - inland electronic nag chart
- DNC - digital nautical chart
Raster charts - are merely a scanned image of a chart. It’s not layered so you cannot adjust filters, apply corrections, set alarms or query raster chart data for amplifying information
What are Raster charts?
It’s a digital image of the corresponding paper chart
LOP
Lines of position
What are your types of fixes?
Electronic fix
- lat / long
- intersection of 3 or more radar ranges or a combination of visual LOP’s and radar ranges obtained simultaneously
Visual fix
- intersection of 3 or more LOP’s or LOP’s from celestial bodies if properly advanced from the time of observation
Running fix
- used when limited objects are available to take LOP’s and the vessel remains on a constant course. This type of fix advances or retires an LOP taken from the same object at two different times to fix a vessels position
What can be done to verify position?
- Radar and chart matching
- radar overlay on eNav System
- Fathometer to match observed depth with charted depth
When evaluating fixes, what will u do?
Analyze the fix with due regard to accuracy, relation to the vessels intended track, proximity to shoal water or other nav hazards, environmental conditions and their effects on the vessels intended track and any other situational dependent factors that must be considered for safe navigation
Set and drift
Is the cumulative effect of wide, tide and current on a vessels movement they the water.
Set - is the direction these forces have moved the vessel
Drift - is how these forces effect the vessels planned speed of the vessel
