Alright let me try this again.

I am the OOD on the USS Bum***. GQ sounds and stations are manned. Do I drive the ship with input from CIC (or whatever the acronym of the day is), or does CIC drive the ship with input from me. Screw everything else, who has responsibility for safe seakeeping?

Submarines don't have this problem because we are all in the same room and nobody knows what the *** is going on anyway.

As I understand the regulations the OOD is in "command"

"The OOD underway and in port is the watch officer designated by the CO to be in charge of the ship. The OOD is primarily responsible for the safe operation of the ship. The U.S Navy Regulations, 1990, describe the duties, responsibility, and authority of the OOD; they are also discussed in considerable detail in Naval Orientation, NAVEDTRA 12966. "
