🔍 Key Concepts

• Conn vs. overall command of the vessel • Clear, positive transfer of responsibility for the watch • Why informal actions (entering the bridge, speaking, or giving an opinion) may NOT equal taking the conn

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: at what exact moment does the Officer of the Watch stop being responsible for the ship’s movements? • Which choice shows an explicit, unmistakable transfer of control rather than an assumption? • How would you want this to work in a crowded traffic situation to avoid confusion about who is actually conning the vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look for a choice that involves clear verbal confirmation of taking the conn • Eliminate any answer where the Master’s presence or casual comments could be misinterpreted as taking over • Verify which option would best prevent two people thinking they both (or neither) have the conn in heavy traffic
