Where can you find the phraseology for the 12 o'clock report?

The phraseology for the 12 o'clock report is found in the OOD Binder under the phraseology section. This section is specifically designed to provide the correct and standardized language that Officers of the Deck need to communicate effectively and accurately during their watch. Having a dedicated phraseology section helps ensure that all essential reports, including the 12 o'clock report, are delivered in a consistent manner, which is crucial for maintaining operational clarity and safety during naval operations.

The other resources mentioned, such as the training section of the OOD Binder, the Officer of the Deck manual, and the CO's personal notebook, may contain valuable information and instructions, but they do not specifically focus on the standardized phraseology that is used for reports. Hence, while they may be useful for general guidance or other specific procedures, they do not provide the precise wording required for the 12 o'clock report. Understanding where to find this phraseology helps OODs perform their duties more effectively.
