WHAT IS A COMMANDING OFFICER? Some times known affectionately as the O1d Man or the Skipper , he is first of all, a man. But he must also be a computer capable of appraising any given situation, weighing the odds, and adding the sum of his experience to arrive at the correct solution - all with- out hesitation. And if this is not enough, we can add another important ingredient: the Captain alone is responsible for the fate of his ship and the lives and well being of his crew. The position of command is not an enviable one. He must punish as well as praise, and is often criticized for his actions. He can never completely relax, for he must be aware of his surroundings every moment. Often he is'awakened during the night to make some decision regarding the safety of his ship. The Skipper must be able to lead his men through all barriers - be it enemy, nature, or routine ship handling - with confidence. He is assigned as Commanding Officer because he is, above all, the most experienced and el- igible man for the job. . i
