  42. Engineer’s Bell Book • Chronological record of all orders to the engine room(s) affecting ship’s speed

  43. Underway Watch Organization

  44. Proper Watch Turnover • Oncoming watchstander makes a tour of his/her watchstation and reads logs. • EOOW: Propulsion plant • OOD: Various places throughout the ship (Engineering plant, CIC) • Offgoing watchstander briefs his/her relief • Events that happened during previous watch • Upcoming events
