Nav Evaluation assessments report to whom?

Nav Evaluation assessments report to whom?

• A. CO/OIC
• B. Conn
• C. QMOW
• D. OOD

Answer: (B)

Navigation evaluations are tracked by the officer responsible for the ship’s navigation and conning—the Officer of the Conn. This person oversees the bridge watch, coordinates plotting and ship handling, and uses the evaluations to coach watchstanders and ensure navigation procedures are followed correctly. While the commanding officer ultimately owns ship safety, the day-to-day assessment and feedback about navigation performance are directed to the Conn, rather than to the QMOW or the OOD.
