CDR B.N. KAYE Executive Officer CDR Kaye joined the FLINT in Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines, releiving LCDR McWhirter as Exec. A change in executive officers is important to a crew. It is he who most directly affects their lives. The Cap- tain decides how the ship is to be organized and run, but it is the XO who runs it that way. His signature appears on the Plan of the Day, the detailed schedule by which each day ' s events are ordered. He is the fi- nal authority on leave, liberty and pay, which with the quality and abundance of food, most directly affects shipboard morale. It is the XO who creates or fails to create an efficient organization to handle all aspects of life aboard ship, from cleanliness through combat. One of CDR Kaye ' s many talents surfaced when he was the master of ceremony for the Wog Beauty Contest. (SN Grant, ET2 Metoyer, CDR Kaye) The XO is constantly touring the ship, ensuring a safe and cl ean enviroment.
