The Captain and Exec don't stand watches, that's understandable. Why wouldn't the Assistant Navigator not stand a watch when presumably the Navigation Officer would?
Also, I would have assumed that the Chief of the Boat would also not stand a regular watch as he would have to be everywhere/anywhere in the sub.
Can someone learn this lubber o' land sumpten about watch standing?
