I would then return to the bridge get all the navigational charts and logs and hand them to my first officer, i would then return to the bridge and go down with her.

Perhaps I've watched too many movies, but I would do the same ...
I'm a romantic person ... when I left my last boat the USS Sam Houston SSBN 609 blue crew ...
I went to the conn and took once last look around, touched everything and said good-bye old friend.
That picture is still in me ... I love ships.
