ubject: Radar and Basic Nav.
From: "Simple Simon" Date: 09/02/2003 17:20 Pacific Standard Time Message-id: "Shen44" wrote in message ... What watch does the Captain stand? He gets to stand the watch of his choice. Wrong. He doesn't stand a watch .... that's what he's got Mates for. Who is the designated "Navigation Officer"? The Mate Wrong. The Second Mate is the designated "Navigation Officer", however, each Mate does all his own navigating. Who steers the ship at sea .... in port? At sea the helmsman steers, in port the pilot steers. Wrong. At sea, the ship is always on auto pilot, unless handling traffic or in fog. In those cases, the "helmsman" will be steering. (Naturally, there are exceptions that will include times other than those mentioned when one is on "hand" steering). LOL, the pilot rarely takes the actual "helm" going into or out of port .... he "directs". What are the 3M's duties? Don't know what a 3M is - speak English! ROFL, and you call yourself a Master..... a 3M, is a third Mate ....any idiot knows that. Wrong ..... Who maintains the radio log? The Mate Which Mate? Wrong What is a deadmans switch? A switch that closes when not held open by the operator Wrong. Most modern ships employ an unmanned engineroom, and some a one man bridge watch. When an Engineer goes down into the engineroom at night to make a "round", he sets this switch. If something should happen to him during that round, an alarm will sound on the bridge, if he hasn't hit a "button" within an alotted time. How many whistle controls, on the bridge? Automatic or manual? Wrong ..... either (jumping the gun, but considering your responses to date, probably valid) How many EOT's? EOT cranes on the bridge? None. How many methods of steering on the bridge? Two What are "Noon slips" and how many are there? Positions at noon. There are three. Who keeps the Bell Log? Mate What's in a Bell Log? Commands and times, things like full astern, full ahead. It often contains of a standard set of symbols. How often do you have to wind the course recorder? Once a day if before the electronic age. You don't wind the electronic ones. G just a few, Neal .... let's see how you do Better than you thought, huh. S.Simon |
