Watchkeeping Studies on a Nuclear Submarine

Abstract

In two prolonged patrols on a nuclear submarine, on-watch body temperatures were obtained at hourly intervals from (a) UC ratings following a 'rotating' 1 in 3 watchkeeping schedule with a 3-day cycle and (b) officers following 'standing watch' routines. Both 'graphical' and computer analyses of the temperature data obtained from the UC ratings showed that the amplitude of the circadian temperature rhythm was markedly reduced during the patrol.
