1. the
lines of the
Staff are mainly concerned with
Commodore's external
Sea Org actions,
handling, SO matters,
Scn orgs,
missions, etc.
(FO 1490) 2. the
deputy of the
Board of Directors is
Commodore of the
flotilla (who may be assisted by
aides and other
personnel known as
Commodore's
Staff). WO 1109)
3. the
theory of appointment for the
Commodore's
Staff is based on:
(1) a liaison
officer for each of the seven divisions on each
ship and
(2) a
communications service for the
Commodore and
(3) personal
service for the
Commodore. When the
Commodore is afloat his
staff, insofar as
practical, is with him, performing their regular
staff duties and any seamanship duties he may require in assisting him to
handle ships or
boats or
operations in which they may be required to take an
active part. Some of the
staff , such as typist, may continue on in a shore
office when the
Commodore is afloat. Not all his
staff always accompanies him but those who do may be expected to perform
sea duties as well as
staff duties.
