Do you think you should be in command of a ship because you know how to dump the shit and put on potable water and fuel? That's why you're an engineer and not a deck officer.

Thanks Sir, for your enlightened message indeed. Engineers are Officers in our fleet. The Chief Engineer wears 4 stripes on his shoulder, the same number as the Captain. Having to manage 20 vessels under me, does not allow me the privilege of name calling. It does give me however an overview much larger than individual ship Captains can see. My job is to see people work on their core capabilites, that alone ensures effective delivery of goals and company plans, along with improved safety management. IMHO safe navigation is the Deck Officers core responsibility on board a ship.
