(Narrator) In spite of the Mohawk's high tech electronics, still the most effective lookout device tends to be the human eye, aided by binoculars. | |
(Seaman McKinley) Basically, we use binoculars to scan the horizon and make sure that, if we see a contact, we report it -- what it looks like, what direction it's going. The worst situation you can have is a contact that has CBDR which is Constant Bearing Decreasing Range, which means that it is possible that we could hit it. So we want to make sure that we avoid that type of thing. | |
(Seaman McKinley) We scan the water to make sure that there aren't any Cubans or Haitians. We've had problems with migrants off the coast of the Southern Florida. We want to make sure that they are not in the water. We also step out on the side, here on the bridge wing, and make sure that no one on our ship fell overboard. | |
