  • Watches,hours worked,etc...

    Hi there
    What way does the INS organise the shipboard routine, time-wise, when the ship is involved in an emergency situation, such as the Air India disaster or the present events off Wexford.A friend of mine,who served on an RN carrier in the Adriatic, worked a 7,5,5,7 daily routine once the ship had gone up the Adriatic to it's patrol station.Does anything similar exist in the INS?
    regards

    Watches. usually of 4 hour duration is the norm at sea. 4 on, 8 off, and a 2 hour along the way to change the routine. I remember it mentioned elsewhere.


    Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
