Question 208 Deck General
70% to passYou are a watchstanding mate and have come to the bridge to relieve the watch. After reviewing the chart and having been briefed by the off-going mate, you are now ready to effect the relief. Which of the following is exemplary of the statement that would officially transfer the watch?
A
You say to the mate going off watch, "I relieve you, course 321° per gyro, 316° per standard."
B
You say to the mate going off watch, "Destination New York, course 283°, speed 16 knots."
C
The mate being relieved says, "All in apparent good order, course 068° per gyro, 075° per standard."
D
The mate being relieved says, "You now have the watch, course 147°, speed 15 knots."
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) "I relieve you, course 321° per gyro, 316° per standard." This statement is exemplary of the proper procedure for officially transferring the watch because it directly states that the incoming mate is relieving the outgoing mate, and it provides the specific course information that is critical for maintaining situational awareness and safe navigation. The other options are incorrect because they either do not clearly state the transfer of the watch (B and D), or they have the incoming mate receiving the information rather than stating it themselves (C).
