EITS is correct: We do things that way for a reason.
And Kratz basically explained that, as on every ship in the fleet, the Duty watch in the Navy is NOT just a security organization. It's primary role is ensuring that all daily routines (the schedule by witch we live our lives on a ship and by witch all activities of the various departments are coordinated - and reserve units ARE ships) and all required ceremonial are carried out properly and at the appropriate time. The duty watch also acts as the Captain's representative and point of contact to keep the command team praised of any unusual situation and the execution of various function.
Remember: Ship's are not lodger units with single focus, as an Infantry battalion, or tank squadron, etc. might be on a base. We are a self-contained mini-base, and multiple trades and sub-groups need their activities using the common equipment coordinated. That's part of the duty watches function. For instance, the duty watch usually coordinates the use of unit's vehicles and boats (yes, NRD's have boats available to them), an item Kratz forgot to mention.
