Definitions

ships are by experience visited at all times of the day and night, and since specific PR Department terminals are likely to be asked for, this has the proven result of these terminals either giving up the idea of studying, or of being continually hauled out of study, or of shore terminals being repulsed or left unattended, and none of these results are good. Therefore, the PR Duty Officer is established as a Department 4 FSO (or Ship's Div VI) action. The hat of PR Duty Officer rotates amongst all Dept 4 personnel, and each person stands one night as Duty Officer. The function of Duty Officer is to handle anything he can which comes up for the department. (FO 2864)
