RAN Officer of the Day

The RAN Officer of the Day (OOD) is a senior naval officer responsible for the overall management, security, and operation of a ship or naval facility during their duty period. They ensure daily routines are followed, coordinate activities, respond to emergencies, and maintain discipline among personnel. The OOD acts as the key point of contact for both internal team members and external authorities, overseeing safety protocols, communication, and operational readiness. Essentially, they serve as the ship’s or facility’s on-duty leader, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently during their shift.
