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
36
topics OOD reports directly to XO
carry out the ship's routine
37
topics OOD reports directly to navigator
sighting navigation landmarks, course, & speed changes
38
correcting mistakes when training to be OOD
mistakes while training for OOD must be corrected on teh spot b/c fast paced environment so no time for lengthly debriefs
39
importance of the first watch as OOD
first time they are fully in command of the ship. timehonored and unique distinction
40
accountability of a naval officer
"a naval officer is accountable for all actions good & bad"
41
delegation when on watch
easy for watch officers to delegate b/c diverse and complex operations especially if unusual situation but even if they delegate, they ultimately regain resonsibility
42
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
43
"with responsibility goes..."
"with responsibility goes authority and with both goes accountability"
44
OPNAVIST that describes duties and authority of the OOD
OPNAVIST In 3120.32C
45
OPNAVIST instruction 3120.32C
"Standard Organization & Regulations of the US Navy
46
traditional requirements for an OOD per the OPNAVIST 3120.32C
apply good judgement, intelligence, initiative to duty, exercise authority
- OOD minimum duties/responsibilities
-has Title 10 enformement
- may add to duties but not reduce them
47
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
48
why is the OOD directly responsible to 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
49
direct representative for CO
OOD is the CO's direct rep
- makes decisions for the safety of the ship & crew
50
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
51
first mission of all OOD's
safety of the ship & fulfillment of its mission
52
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
53
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
54
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
55
importance of readiness on ships
b/c of the rapid evolution of modern warfare, ship must be capable of quick reaction to a threat. might not be enough time to get from normal u/w ops to GQ
56
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
57
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
58
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
59
greatest threat on night shift
complacency
60
characteristic of a good navigator
a good navigator will go to the bridge if they sense a subtle change in ship
or a good CHENG will go if the pump/blower sound isn't right
61
central figure in ship briefings
OOD
62
importance of vigilence on watch
safety
63
what do the OOD's need to qual
forehandedness,vigilience, judgement, intution/experience, leadership, technical knowledge, energy
64
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.
65
what must the OOD do when they prepare to enter a harbor like NYC
review inland rules of hte road
66
who publishes the rules of the road
USCG Navigation RUles of the Roads
67
what must happen if there are any changes in course/speed
must follow orders of proper authority
68
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
69
why must the CHENG be involed in tactical situations
CHENG must know about power requirements and operating situation so they can operate ensuring
70
JOOW versus JOOD
junior officer of the deck or watch
71
request the OOD makes of hte CO

73
who gives permission for people to go outside in heavy weather

74
what must you quickly learn when you are new to a ship

75
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

372
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
373
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 effectively
0 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 pston
9- fail to use fathometer and line of soundigns
