Crew do not wear their wet weather gear during a storm

Not in my crew.

Because putting the raincoat on while on the bridge has too many disadvantages:

A) They are focussing on putting on the rain coat instead of doing their lookout job.
B) They will have to put on the rain coat on their already wet clothes.
C) Putting on raincout in windy weather is very awkward.

Therefore I use a much better system, the Watch Officer just sends them below after they are being releaved by a fresh lookout wearing a rain coat.

Didn't they teach you this in u-boat school ?
