How frequently should the POOW conduct rounds?

The frequency with which the POOW should conduct rounds is determined by the standing orders of the command, which outline specific protocols and procedures for watchstanding duties. Conducting rounds at regular intervals is crucial for maintaining safety and security on the vessel. This practice ensures that the POOW can monitor the condition of the ship, check for any abnormalities, verify that all personnel are accounted for, and address any potential issues that may arise.

Regular rounds can vary based on the situation and the specific operational requirements established by the command. This variability allows for a flexible approach to ensuring the safety and operational condition of the ship, adapting to different environments or mission requirements as needed.
