Navy Regulations require line officers, now called surface warfare specialists, be given ship handling training. mandatory! A C.O. nightmare. But it can be accomplished in a number of safe and effective ways, but one ineffective way is to undertake such education in an unsupervised manner ( O.K. Mr Jones, you got the conn, lets see how you do!) specially in a congested water way or at critical times. I found my merchant marine time provided me little ship handling experience, but I did learn a number of thing that did not work, and, I observed some great seamsnship that I emulated in later life. Two of the best ship handlers I knew had identical views; some can do it and some can't. Select those that can and work with them; talk it over, do a chart drill, read the books ( there are some real good ones, but make sure they are based on experience not simulator philosphy). There are three categories of ship handlers: Great, Good and those that think they are great. I was pleased to be considered good although I clobbered a couple of buoys, damged a crane and ran aground once because I had not planned the job and prepared myself for every probable situation. A great pilot told me, "If you worry about the job enough, it will turn out o.k." Captain Mike has made a valid point.
