202015 - CAPTAIN LEAVES THE BRIDGE
Notes:
SHIP IS ACTUALLY FARTHER LEFT OF THE TRAFFIC PATTERN THAN THEY REALIZE, 124 BRINGS THEM INTO THE TRAFFIC PATTERN OF SHIPS HEADING WEST.
THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS -- MAYBE MINOR BY THEMSELVES BUT THINK OF THEM IN THE AGGREGATE.
ONCOMING OOD (THE SENIOR WATCH OFFICER) IS THE CHIEF ENGINEER HOW MUCH BRIDGE TIME DO YOU THINK HE HAS HAD PRIOR TO THE TRANSIT OF THE STRAIT? HE RELIEVES LATE AT 1955 WITHOUT RECEIVING AN UPDATE FROM CIC. COMPLACENCY?
MIDN 1/C HAS THE CONN UNDER INSTRUCTION. AOOD IS ON WATCH SINCE 1945 BUT HAS NOT READ NIGHT ORDERS AND DOES NOT HAVE BINOCULARS. THE OOD IS STANDING HIS FOURTH BRID GE WATCH SINCE STANDING TAO WATCHES IN THE GULF (SECOND NIGHT WATCH), THE AOOD IS THE OUTBOARD OFFICER WHO QUALIFIED AS OOD 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE TRANSIT
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CO LEAVING THE BRIDGE AS THE SHIP APPROACHES HEAVY TRAFFIC COMING FROM SINGAPORE? STILL DOING 25 KNOTS BY THE WAY.
