Slide 53 of 62
Notes:
- As the CVN is well into the second backing bell, the CG commences a bare steerage way turn to the reciprocal course, apparently blind to the rapid closure rate of the two ships.
- The ahead one third bell by the CVN was IAW drill requirements not in response to rapid closure rate.
- CG XO is on the bridge directing the OOD and Conning Officer - he never assumes the conn.
- As the closure rate increased to greater than 15 knots, “in extremis” occurred before the CG bridge team came to the realization that “in extremis” was even a possibility.
