board for 6 months and then destroyed. All entries in
the ship’s deck log are made in black ink with a ball-
point pen. All remarks should be neat and legible.
Only standard Navy phraseology should be used.
No erasures are permitted in the deck log. If you
make a mistake, draw a single line through the
original entry (so that it remains legible). Insert the
correct entry in such a manner as to ensure clarity
and legibility, and place your initials in the margin.
Corrections, additions, or changes are made only by
the person required to sign the record for the watch.
