Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This handbook addresses every aspect of a watchstander's duties at sea and in port. A classic reference of the profession since its initial publication in 1911, the guide is a compendium of information and wisdom contributed by hundreds of naval officers and mariners over the past eighty years. For watch officers beginning their training, the book provides an abundance of useful, up-to-date information. For experienced watch officers, it is handy both for general review and for use while actually standing watch.

The revised edition offers much new material, including sessions on standing watch in the combat information center, training, and engineering, and a quick-reference guide filled with the shiphandler's tricks of the trade. Other material has been brought into line with current practice. No officer who stands watch at sea or in port should be without this useful volume.

5 out of 5 stars Watch Officer's Guide   May 9, 2008
Frank Savage (San Diego, CA, USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

"Watch Officer's Guide" is a goldmine of information for the newly commissioned naval officer, and will provide him/her with a safe passage through the rocks and shoals of a junior officer assigned to a ship for the first time, or one who is seeking qualification as on OOD. This book is also for the civilian who has a genuine interest in the ships, aircraft, practices and traditions of the United States Navy.
