Describe the ship's helm
|
The helm unit for most ships consists of a wheel, rudder angle indicator, rudder order angle indicator, and synchros that send electrical impulses to the steering units located in the after steering
room. Operated by the Helmsmen. |
|
|
In what order are commands to the helmsmen given?
|
Commands to the Helmsman are given in a logical sequence. The first word is "right" or "left", which indicates the direction the Helmsman is to put the wheel over.
The second word indicates how far the wheel is to be put over. |
|
|

information between the bridge and main control. Operated by the Lee Helmsman. |

Used as a ready life boat because it is on the davits and not stacked. Used for man overboard rescue |
|
|
Operations of the Ship’s Davits
|
All personnel in the boat wear an inherently buoyant life jacket and hard hat. In addition, have them keep a monkey line or life line in hand for safety during lowering and hoisting operations.
During lowering, have the monkey lines hang over and inboard, between the ship and the boat. When the boat is just clear of the water—that is, out enough that it is not slapped around by a wave, stop lowering and start the engine. The falls are unhooked from the Davit. Once the boat is waterborne, at the order “Cast off aft,” have the after fall released. At the order “Cast off forward,” have the forward fall released. The falls are pulled clear of the boat by the frapping lines. The boat is now riding to the sea painter, and the boat crew will cast off first the after and then the forward steadying lines. When the boat gains headway, they cast off the sea painter and the boat is free |
|
|
Operations of the Ship’s Davits (Recovery)
|
The procedure for hoisting a boat by davits is the reverse of the lowering operation.
The davits are swung out, and the boat falls and monkey lines are lowered and held to the ship by frapping lines. Fenders are rigged, and the handling equipment is energized and tested. The ship should provide a lee for the approaching boat; that is, the ship moves slowly ahead in a direction to protect the boat from the sea and the wind. |

Marlinespike – Metal tool used to splice wire rope. Fid – Wooden tool used to splice line Mousing – A form of seizing two points. |
|
|
Direction of line pull danger area (safety)
|
Since a snap-back action inevitably occurs when a line parts under tension, never allow personnel to stand in the direct line pull of the line when it is being pulled or when it is under tension. A synthetic line parting under tension will snap back at near the speed of sound, and reaction time to clear the area will not be available. Where possible, position line handlers 90 degrees from the direction of the tension force.
|
|
|
Safe distance
|
6 feet from blocks, cleats, gypsy heads, capstans, etc. which lines pass through
|
|
|

|
|
Whenever possible - remain forward and inboard of lines and wires. why?
