Duty Shifts

The USS Hawk follows a standard Four-Shift Rotation as detailed below.  Bridge Rotation
 * Alpha Shift : 0700-1300 hours
 * Beta Shift : 1300-1900 hours
 * Gamma Shift : 1900-0100 hours
 * Delta Shift : 0100-0700 hours

  **  The CO and XO are required to be on call at all times. When not directly assigned, the CO and XO have time to handle administrative functions.

 ***  The Senior Staff will rotate through Gamma Shift on the bridge. When assigned, their duty rotation will be altered to accommodate the additional duty.

Note that the Engineering and Science stations on the bridge are generally only manned as needed depending on the needs of a specific mission or during emergencies.

All Senior Staff Members work two shifts. One shift will be at their duty station, during the other they will either fulfill administrative functions or command the bridge.



 Other Station Rotation

 Note that the ships counselor maintains their own work schedule. Even though they are also considered to be part of the ships senior staff, they are not required to command the bridge during the Delta Shift Bridge Rotation.
