1. [[CONDITION|Condition]] I is not the same as [[ALL_HANDS|all hands]]. One can carelessly toss [[OFF|off]] "all hands to anchor stations" and even say "Condition I anchor stations" without sufficient [[REASON|reason]]. If it's a [[NORMAL|normal]] anchoring it usually is done in [[CONDITION_II|Condition II]] or even [[CONDITION_III|Condition III]] with a [[BOSUN|bosun]] and a [[HAND|hand]] at the anchor winch. Condition I means [[DANGEROUS|dangerous]] operation. You set Condition I when it's [[TOUCH|touch]] and go or may be. The best steersman, the best navigational [[TEAM|team]], the best radarman, the best QM, the best lookouts, the best [[CONNING_OFFICER|conning officer]], etc., make Condition 1, Condition

2. Things are dangerous. A dangerous approach to harbor, a dangerous pass crowded with ships, dangerous waters. A bad storm at its height. All these and more can [[DEMAND|demand]] Condition I. A [[DAMAGE_CONTROL|damage control]] party, the [[MEDICAL_OFFICER|Medical Officer]] [[SET_UP|set up]], are all part of Condition Is.

3. by definition, Condition 1, which means emergencies or periods which are risky, has the best specialists [[POSTED|posted]] on the [[BRIDGE|bridge]] and [[E_SLASH_R|E/R]].

4. a Condition I bill assigns the most competent person in each [[CASE|case]] to a [[KEY_POST|key post]] to [[HANDLE|handle]] any [[EMERGENCY|emergency]] as a team.

5. Condition I isn't how you dispose of the [[CREW|crew]] around the [[SHIP|ship]]. It's the expert in the [[RIGHT|right]] place, no excess people and ready to handle any goof-up.
