“Good engineering practice”:

The period assigned a ship for the uninterrupted accomplishment of work the requires services of a repair activity ashore or afloat is generally called:

Afloat, it is the determination of what individual ships need to carry out their projected tasks, and the supply of these items and services both before they leave port and on a continuing basis be replenishment underway.

This scheme is designed to upgrade supply effectiveness by establishing proper repair parts support for the ship’s current configuration. To be successful, it requires combined efforts of shore-based support activities, fleet staffs, and ship’s force. Itis conducted in conjunction with shipyard overhaul.

A good safety program must imbue the crew with the understanding that safety is the responsibility of:

Although there is no official set of rules about the conn, the person who may relieve the OOD of the conn is the:

Normally, regular personnel and materiel inspection when in port are conducted:

The basic plan for all training and for keeping personnel informed of projected training aims and operating schedules is the:

A typhoon is a large mass of water-laden air, rotates about an eye of low pressure:

During a typhoon in the northern hemisphere, if the wind shifts clockwise, you are in the:

If you cannot evade a typhoon in the northern hemisphere completely, and in the dangerous semicircle:

According to this maritime strategist, “The object of naval warfare must always be directly or indirectly to secure the command of the sea or to prevent the enemy from securing it.”

It is the sum of all physical, demographic, geographic, economic, and military resources of a country that are derived from or related to the sea and that are used by that nation to advance its political, economic, and security interests.

The sovereignty of a coastal state extends, beyond its land territory and internal waters and, in the case of archipelagic state, its archipelagic waters, to an adjacent belt of sea, described as:

These are waters on the landward side of the baseline of the terr itorial sea.

Pursuant to the law of the sea, a ship belonging to the armed forces of a state bearing the external marks distinguishing such ships of its nationality, under the command of an officer duly commissioned by the government of the state and whose name appears in the appropriate service list or its equivalent, and manned by a crew which is under armed forces discipline is called:

For the purposes of UNCLOS III, this means a group of islands, interconnecting waters, and other natural features which are so closely interrelated that such islands, waters, and other natural features form an intrinsic geographical, economic, and political entity, or which historically have been regarded as such.

A warship which encounters on the high seas a foreign ship, other than a ship entitled to complete immunity, is not justified in boarding it unless there is reasonable ground for suspecting that:

tisanavalexpressionofashiphandler’scompetenceatsea. Thecaptainwhohasa reputation for such is one who can marshal all the information on the situation available to him, combine it with his intimate knowledge of his ship and her characteristics, and take his course of action with the judgment of the master mariner. This judgment is made up of intelligence, knowledge of ships and the sea, and an understanding of the physics of shiphandling.

The Six-Minute Rule states, “The distance in _______ traveled in six minutes equals the speed in knots.”

Aside from the wind and the current, the general sources of force which can be brought to bear on your ship independent of any other vessel do not include:

As a propeller rotates to drive a ship through the water, in addition to producing thrust along the axis of the propeller shaft, the force that it produces at the stern of the ship that causes the stern to move to the direction of the rotation is called:

The blade tips of the propeller in a twin-screw ship, as they pass closest to the hull are working in a following wake of only ____ percent of the ship’s speed, and throughout the majority of the propeller disc there is no appreciable following wake.

The wind normally acts to force the ship bodily:

When going alongside a pier, we normally approach on a converging course about _______ degrees from the heading of our berth.

When coming alongside a ship at anchor or at a buoy, with the wind blowing, approach to a point abreast the ship but beyond her swing, and then “sail” broadside by inclining our ship about ____ degrees to the wind and keeping her at this angle with the engines.

When approaching an anchorage, it is very convenient for the conning officer to make a straight run for the last _____ yards directly towards a known landmark.

Another crucial rule for safe maneuvering in close formation is, “Always turn away.” This rule means to:

In handling the ship in rough seas, the best way to minimize the roll is to

During helicopter operations, the problem for the shiphandler is to provide a ___________ over the ship’s flight deck which permits the pilot to make an approach into the wind with the least possible turbulence, but at the same time from such a direction that he can see a major portion of the ship’s superstructure in his forward hemisphere of vision.

When making preparation for towing operations, we should make the approach nearly as parallel to the ship to be towed, so as to pass about 100 feet to __________ of her forecastle; next, send over the messenger line and then bring the ship to a position where the stern will be about 100 yards ahead and 100 feet abeam of the other ship’sstem.

The function of this group is to maintain an accurate and timely plot of the ship’s position by all available means, including both visual and electronic information.

The horizontal direction of one terrestrial point from another, expressed as an angle from 000 degrees clockwise to 360 degrees, is termed a:

The angle between the magnetic line of force or magnetic meridian, and the geographic meridian, at any location on the earth’s surface is called:

It often happens that passage through restricted waters or docking maneuver is greatly facilitated when the current is:

It is customary for the commanding officer to set down in writing each night the ship is underway a complete set of instructions concerning the activities to be carried out by the watch during the night. In the Navy, these are called:

Radios chiefly used for long-range communication operate at the HF band which includes frequencies from:

Under certain conditions, a portion of the electromagnetic energy in a radio wave may be reflected back toward the earth’s surface from the ionosphere, a layer of charged particles about 90 to 400 kilometers high. Such wave is called:
