Steering course 270 in "Iron Mike", checking course 275. No threating traffic. Have a good watch! And oh, by the way, is there any more of that pumpkin pie left?" )

Anyway, I just thought it would be cool to have "Relieve The Watch" take place on time. (Maybe I've been at sea too long...)

Got ya.Just read in all the books about US subs back in WW II, only mention the OOD relieving early, but I won't argue
