6 Working as a Team When I was a ship s Damage Control Assistant (DCA), one of the toughest jobs I had was turning a team of random sailors into an effective team to man a firehose put out a main engine room fire. The sailors were collateral duty cooks and electricians, gunners and store clerks, bosuns mates and quartermasters. A few said they had previous experience from a different ship and different team but they had never worked together before. The team that failed was the team in which members said, I am right always and every other person who does it differently is wrong. As we begin the year and make the annual vows to go to the gym more or have one less donut, let us also vow to make our family, neighborhood, city, state, and even country better by relearning how to work as a team. Let us remember our time at General Quarters on the ship, when we heard, This is not a drill, or huddled in a foxhole under fire. Differences between us and the Chaplain s Corner by LCDR Adam Samuels, USN (Ret) sailor or Marine a few feet away were set aside and we all worked together to survive to tomorrow. That reliance on each other did not come overnight but through weeks, months, and years of drills, shared mistakes blood, sweat, and tears and we worked together to correct the mistakes. Let this be the year that we see the urgency to make the effort listen and share ideas with our neighbors instead talking at them. Let this be the year that we find the common tomorrow we could both live in instead of ignoring or discounting the road each other is on or someone else s values. That will only pull us apart and the Class Bravo main space fire will continue to grow. Even though we are out of the service, let this be the year we find courage to make the foxhole or General Quarters moment with neighbors and make the America and the world we can all feel blessed in. Amen. LCDR Adam Samuels, USN (ret) is the Austin Council Chaplain for He was a Surface Warfare Officer assigned to multiple ship and staff Operations and Engineering Departments in addition to the Pentagon and DoD Agencies. He served as senior Lay Leader on two destroyers, one cruiser, and two aircraft carriers. He currently is the State Emergency Manager for the Texas National Guard HQ on Camp Mabry and lives in Georgetown TX. The Strange Story of the SS Warimoo The passenger steamer SS Warimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo s position was LAT 0º 31 N and LONG W. The date was 31 December Know what this means? First Mate Payton broke in, We re only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line. Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of theopportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime. He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship s position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed. The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre 6 The Anchor, October November 2018 position were many: The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer. The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter. The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January This ship was therefore not only in: Two different days, Two different months, Two different years, Two different seasons But in two different centuries - all at the same time!
