More respect for US Navy officers and enlisted personnel needed

educing speed and increasing the number of lookout, preferable with somebody that know what the are looking at, would be a good advice for the Navy. It is not as easily done on a VLCC at sea speed and a small crew.

Most merchant ships on sea speed are sailing on bridge control. Reduction of speed is a procedure written into the standing instructions.
Once again, the size of the ship is not a factor in the application of COLREGs.
