IO, yes, yes, yes, I'm not that out of the loop, I'm well aware that Seaman Officers became Warfare Officers, I was one, but I'm afraid I prefer the old term. FF/DDs will only have one Pilot & Observer normally from the flight but embarked aircrew in CVS/ Ocean etc will be expected to volunteer to keep watches to keep their BWC currency and help maintain the aviation-maritime mindset amongst all depts. If CHF is mostly light blue & they do not contribute to the whole ship practices where does the whole ship aviation maritime knowledge come from. "Them & Us" is no way to operate. Unless the embarked squadron are inculcated in the true nature of shipboard operations then "they'll be trouble ahead...."
