Even today, boats run off a standard time and do not change their clocks as they pass from one time zone to another. Avoids confusion when sending / receiving orders with boats scattered all over the deep blue sea. They will have a seperate clock for local time as a reference, but operational orders are exchanged using the std time.
Thanks SWDW - that info is most helpful. I take back my inference to a bug
