I am not a naval person by any stretch, but I thought the protocol on any large ship (military or civilian) was to have at least one, if not two people on watch at all times?
I would assume a navy ship would have multiple people with eyes 'outside the boat' especially in a busy shipping (and piracy ridden) lane such as the Malacca Straits?
- nradov 9y agoUS Navy ships underway typically have at least 4 crewmen on watch as dedicated lookouts, plus at least 4 more on the bridge sometimes looking out the windows and someone in CIC watching radar. In high risk situations there may be even more.
