sector just above the horizon. Then, shift your gaze upward about 10°, and search back to the starting point. Repeat this process until the zenith is reached; then rest your eyes for a few seconds before starting over. When searching at night, keep your eyes moving. Try to adhere to (stay with) the sector scan (and upward shift) even though the horizon may not be visible. If you spot a target (or even think you have), don’t stare at it. Instead, look slightly to either side. REPORTS Every object sighted should be reported, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you. The initial report consists of two basic parts—what you see and its bearing (direction) from the ship. Aircraft sighting reports also include altitude (position angle). Report the contact as soon as you see it, then follow with an amplifying report. Include the object’s identity (destroyer, periscope, log, and so on) and direction of travel (closing, crossing, and so on). Refer to the ships SOP on reporting procedures. REVIEW 2 QUESTIONS Q1.   Describe how bearings are measured? Q2.   List the three different types of bearings. a. b. c. Q3.   Explain  the  difference  between  reporting bearing angles and position angles. Q4.   You are using your hand as an aid to determine the  position  angle  of  an  aircraft.  What  is  the approximate width of a closed fist (in degrees)? Q5.   If the binocular IPD is adjusted properly, what will you see when viewing through them? a.  One circle b.  Two separate circles c.  Two circles Q6.   List  the  three  adjustments  that  must  be  made when using binoculars. a. b. c.

SUMMARY In  this  chapter,  you  learned  about  the  basic fundamentals of the watch organization and some of the procedures associated with standing a proper watch. We also  covered  the  importance  of  communications  in relation to watch-standing duties. Having well-trained and competent watch standers would be useless without 3-18 Student Notes:
