Post; Naval Navigation


A JUNIOR NAVY OFFICER assigned as officer of the deck, I had the responsibility of bringing our 510-foot ship into San Francisco Bay. But first, we had to detour from our original course to test the anti-mine system. After the test, senior officers surrounded me on the bridge as we began to steam toward the anchorage. As the grand expanse of the Golden Gate loomed ahead, I whispered nervously in the navigator's ear, "What's our course through the Golden Gate Bridge?"

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Aim for the middle."

Sometimes, you just gotta let the helmsman steer the ship and prove to the world that he's not an idiot. Nine times out of ten, he will show you that he is very competent. Just hope that you are not the OOD on that tenth time.
