Bridge watchstanders come from the "Deck Force" and are Boatswain's Mates or striking for that rate. Inport they are usually chipping and painting. Underway is when they shine and being watchstanders on the Bridge. In that function they rotate through several positions, including the helm, in a normal watch.undo
