Under NAVEDTRA 14104 §1-1, what is the correct procedure for an oncoming watchstander before formally assuming the engineering watch?
- A. Review the previous watch log entries, sign the log, and assume the watch at the scheduled time regardless of plant status
- B. Receive a verbal briefing from the off-going watchstander, then formally relieve without touring the space to avoid delaying the relief
- ✓ Be fully informed of plant lineup, equipment out of service, abnormal readings, and standing orders, tour the space, verify actual machinery condition against the logs, and only then formally relieveCorrect
- D. Check gauge readings at the maneuvering station and formally relieve once the off-going watchstander confirms all parameters are normal
Why C is correct
NAVEDTRA 14104 §1-1 specifies that a proper relief requires the oncoming watchstander to be fully informed of the plant lineup, any equipment out of service, abnormal readings, ongoing evolutions, and standing orders, then tour the space and verify actual machinery condition against the logs before formally relieving.
