peacetime.  When  the  required  number  of  people  is available in peacetime—and always in wartime—three basic types of lookout watches are established. They are (1) surface lookouts who search from the ship to the horizon, (2) low-sky lookouts who search from the horizon to 5° above it, and (3) high-sky lookouts who search  from  the  horizon  to  the  zenith  (directly overhead).  Additionally,  several  people  may  be assigned to each search, each person being responsible for a specified sector. Adjacent sectors have about a 10° overlap, so no area will go unsearched. The  normal  peacetime  lookout  organization  has three people in each watch section. Two persons are located  on  the  bridge  or  atop  the  pilothouse;  one searches to port, the other to starboard. Their sectors extend  from  just  abaft  the  beam  forward  to  dead ahead. The third person is stationed aft and is called the after lookout or life-buoy watch and is responsible for the sector extending from the starboard beam aft and around to the port beam (figure 1).
