Chapter  2—ADMINISTRATION,  SUPERVISION,  AND  TRAINING not have been brought out during the critique. The inspected ship receives a copy of all observers’ reports; in this way, each department is given the opportunity to review the comments and set up a training schedule to cover the weak points. Following  is  a  example  of  an  engineering observer’s report. Engineering observer. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The blank parts of the observers’ report forms are  filled  in  as  applicable  to  the  individual observer’s  station.  Items  that  were  not  observed are either left blank or crossed out. Additional information, if required for a certain exercise or condition, may be written on the reverse side of the form. A separate form or sheet is used for each exercise or drill. Remarks or statements made by the observer should be clear and legible. Investigation  and  interpretation  of casualty.
