how a Ship is Compartmented and Numbered

Knowing how the carrier is compartmented is crucial for navigating its vast interior. Although
ship’s personnel will be happy to lend a hand in getting around, it is still useful to have a working
knowledge of where things are located. Each compartment of the ship is stamped with a series of
alphanumeric numbers, known as "bull’s-eyes," which give information on where your are, and
what that compartment’s function is. The information is given in the following order: deck number,
frame number, relation to the centerline of the ship, and compartment usage. Each of these parts
is separated by a hyphen.
Decks above the main deck are numbered 01, 02, 03, etc. and are referred to as levels. Below
the main deck, there are the first, second, third decks, etc. (remember, on a carrier the hangar
deck, the one below the flight deck, is the main deck.). Frame numbers tell you where you are in
relation to the bow of the ship; the numbers increase as you go aft. The third number in the bull’s-
eye reflects compartmentation numbers in relation to the ship’s centerline. EVEN numbers are
to PORT, and ODD numbers are to STARBOARD. The numbers increase as you travel outboard.
The last letter stamped on the compartmentation number indicates what the compartment is used
for. Below are some typical codes:

Discuss navigational routes and geographic locations; comprehend standard helm orders; use numerical information for
engineering.( Discutir rutas de navegación y ubicaciones geográficas; comprender órdenes estándar de timón; usar información
numérica para ingeniería.)

Reading comprehension.
Sailors have developed navigation methods to determine where they are and to plot where they are going.
Currently, seafarers use latitude and longitude lines to pinpoint their position at sea. In the charts, they can
use the compass rose to identify cardinal directions to orient readers. Lines that run east to west are
parallels of latitude. Longitude lines, called meridians, run north to south from pole to pole.

Exercise. Vocabulary. Match the definition to the correct words.

1__ meridian a- to point a location or course

2__position b- a line of longitude
3__cardinal direction c- north, south, east and west
4__pole d- a specific location
5__parallel e- a line of latitude
6 _ plot f- one of two points the earth revolves around

One early method, piloting, has been used for centuries. It involves
keeping sight of know objects on land. Another method, dead
reckoning, requires keeping careful records of movements after leaving
a fixed point. However, the millennia method that has been used is
celestial navigation that not limit navigation to shorelines.

What other navigational method do you know?

Suggestions: electronic LOPs, celestial LOP, GPS navigation, coast

navigation.

Knowing a ship´s position at all times is important in order to avoid

accidents. Accomplishing this requires familiarity with a variety of
equipment. The magnetic compass is the oldest navigational tool.
Gyrocompasses are also used onboard and indicate the true north.
Devices like the bearing circle and alidade determine bearing. Other
important instruments are sextants, parallel ruler and alidade.

The main standard helm orders and their meanings.

Midships: Put the wheel to the midships position, and the rudder into a fore-and- aft
position. Port: Put the wheel and rudder half way between midships and full deflection to
port.
Hard-a-port: put the wheel and rudder as far over to port as will give the maximum turning
effect.
Port 5: Turn the wheel to 5 degrees deflection of the rudder to port.
Port 10: Turn the wheel to 10 degrees deflection of the rudder to port. Note: orders are
given in the same way for Starboard as for
Port Steady: Notice the ship’s heading at once, and turn the wheel against the direction of
the ship’s swing. Bring the ship to the heading she was on when the order Steady was
given.
(Note: sometimes the order Meet her is given, with the same intention of straightening the
ship’s course.)
Steady as she goes: Maintain the present course or heading
COURSE IMO 3.17 MARITIME ENGLISH – SECTION 1: GENERAL MARITIME ENGLISH (GME)

How orders are given

Notice the sequence of events that accompany helm orders:
1.The order is given: e.g. “Steer 137 degrees.”
2.The helmsman immediately repeats the order: “Steer 137 degrees, sir.”
3.The helmsman carries out the order, and as soon as he has done so (in this example, as soon as
the ship is heading 137°), he confirms it: ”Heading 137 degrees, Sir.

Understand the standard wheel orders

All wheel orders given should be repeated by the helmsman and the officer of the watch should
ensure that they are carried out correctly and immediately. All wheel orders should be held until
countermanded. The helmsman should report immediately if the vessel does not answer the wheel.

When there is concern that the helmsman is inattentives s/he should be questioned:
"What is your course?" And s/he should respond:
"My course ... degrees."

Changing over the watch The OOW should not hand over the
watch if there is any reason to believe that
the relieving officer is unfit to, or is temporarily unable to, carry out his duties
effectively. If in any doubt, the OOW should call the master.
Illness or the effect of drink, drugs or fatigue could be reasons why the relieving
officer is unfit for duty.
Before taking over the watch, the relieving officer must be satisfied as to the
ship's position and confirm its intended track, course and speed, and engine
controls as appropriate, as well as noting any dangers to navigation expected to
be encountered during his watch. The relieving officer should also be satisfied that
all other members of the bridge
team for the new watch are fit for duty, particularly as regards their adjustment
to night vision.
If a manoeuvre or other action to avoid a hazard is taking place at the moment
the OOW is being relieved, handover should be deferred until such action has
been completed.

On board there are usually four meals a day (remenber, the ship operated 24
hours a day all the time.) They were called breakfast, lunch, dinner, and
midrats( Dinner leftovers served around midnight to those coming off the 2000-
2400 watch and to those going on the 0000-0400 (balls to four)
watch onboard Vessels.)

Breakfast is usually served from about 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. you can have the usual
assortment of things, with a variety from day to day like eggs, cereals, fruits. For
lunch and dinner, there are also a variety of food.

Meals on board.
1. Officers
The experience of eating meals onboard ship will vary widely depending on
the type of ship one is embarked on. Smaller ships have one Wardroom
where officers gather, usually in a formal setting, with the ship’s
commanding officer presiding. In addition to serving as central dining room,
the Wardroom also functions as a place to hold important meetings for
selected ship’s company. Lounge furniture, naval reference books and
audio/visual entertainment equipment can also be found in some
wardrooms. Ships with just one Wardroom usually do not require the officer
to sign up for meals as some larger do.

2. Officer Wardroom Etiquette

Maintaining proper etiquette in the Wardroom is very important. (The mess
cabin or compartment for commissioned naval officers above the rank
of midshipman) For example, always wear the uniform of the day while in the
Wardroom. As a visiting officer, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself
with the proper procedure for joining the Mess. On ships with one Wardroom, it
is customary to address the senior officer present at the meal and ask
permission to join the Mess. For example, if the executive officer (XO) is
present, ask, "May I join you XO?" If you do not know a particular officer’s job,
ask him to join the mess using his rank e.g., "May I join you Commander?"
Follow this procedure for every meal.

3. Ships with more than one Wardroom

Larger ships, such as carriers, may have two or even three wardrooms,
which vary in their formality. For example, a typical aircraft carrier has two
Wardrooms: Wardroom One (also known as the "Dirty Shirt Wardroom") is
usually forward on the 03 level and is where most of the aircrew tend to
eat. Wardroom Two is usually run by the executive officer (XO) of the
ship. Dinner is usually the most formal meal and is often presided over by
a senior officer.

4. Enlisted
The enlisted mess usually can be found on the 2nd deck and is always
cafeteria style. Typically, it is open four times a day for up to a total of 10
hours per day. Enlisted members do not pay for their meals. The rules
are easy: grab a tray, grab some food, and grab a seat (usually in this
order). Be prepared however, to wait in line.

5. First Class Petty Officer and Chief's Messes

Some ships may or may not have an area set aside on the mess decks for a
separate First Class Petty Officer’s seating area. If you are an E-6, ask whether
there is a First Class Mess. The Chief’s Mess is run apart from the enlisted
galley but still derives its funds from ship’s supply so there should be no extra
mess dues for TAD (AT) reserve personnel. The mess may request a copy of
your orders in order to secure additional funding for the meals you will eat while
on AT. Note: the Chief’s Mess aboard a carrier usually offers the best food.
While the Chief’s Mess derives its funds from ship’s supply it does not procure
food from the Navy supply system.

ships have a marking on their hulls known

as the Plimsoll line or the Plimsoll mark,
which indicates the limit until which ships
can be loaded with enough cargo.
Internationally, the Plimsoll line on a ship
is officially referred to as the International
load line. Every type of ship has a
different level of floating and he Plimsoll
line on a ship generally varies from one
vessel to another.
Technically, no ship is able to absolutely
float above, as it travels across the
waters. A certain portion of the ship is
always immersed in the sea water and
the level of submerging is decided by the
gross weight of the respective ship. Even
the type of water in which the ship is
floating influences the application of the
load line. Sometimes even the oceanic
regions and changing seasons affect the
Plimsoll mark, as well. Researchers have
•AB = Letters indicating the registration authority (American Bureau of Shipping in the image
found out that the temperature and shown; the circle with the line through it indicates whether or not the cargo is loaded evenly)
salinity of the water also plays a key role •LG= Lloyds Registration Shipping
in deciding the height until which the ship
rests in the water.
