🔍 Key Concepts

• Bridge watch relief procedures and who is responsible for formally taking the watch • The difference between describing the ship’s status and explicitly assuming responsibility for the watch • Standard phrases used aboard ships to formally transfer the watch (e.g., “I have/you have the watch” or “I relieve you”)

💭 Think About

• Which person must clearly take responsibility for the watch: the mate going off watch or the mate coming on watch? • Which option contains an unambiguous statement that the responsibility for the watch has been transferred, not just information about course, speed, or conditions? • Look at each choice and ask: does this sentence, by itself, leave ANY doubt about who currently has the watch?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which speaker (relieving mate vs. mate being relieved) should make the final, explicit statement of watch transfer. • Check that the wording includes a clear assumption of the watch (not just a report like “all in apparent good order” or a list of course/speed). • Confirm that, after this statement is made, it would be obvious to anyone listening who now has the watch.
