| The crew remaining onboard a ship in port is under an Officer of the Day who has responsibility and authority, under the CO, for all aspects of the ship until he is relieved by another OOD.  This is typically a 24 hour post and the OOD can go anywhere necessary for the proper performance of his duties including off the ship for short periods, as long as he is nearby and can immediately return if needed. At sea or in space, a ship underway is directed by an Officer of the Deck who has similarly has responsibility and authority, under the CO, for all aspects of the ship until he is relieved by another OOD. The underway post is usually stood at the Bridge or CIC and is a much shorter period due to the more intense attention required, usually no longer than two to four hours.
