(3) Main Body or Convoy. Ships of the main body or convoy that are stationed by the sector<br />

method may be maneuvered by the OTC the same way as screen units.<br />

3331 MANEUVERING WITH SKELETON SCREENS<br />

a. Conduct of Screen Units. Units are to patrol their stations or patrol lines unless otherwise<br />

ordered. The way of patrolling is at the comm<strong>and</strong>ing officer’s discretion, unless it is specified by the OTC.<br />

The extent of patrolling depends, for example, on the distance between adjacent screen units <strong>and</strong> on the<br />

speed advantage over the convoy or main body.<br />

b. Turn-Together or Emergency Turn by Convoy or Main Body. Screen units maintain<br />

true bearings <strong>and</strong> distances from the main body or convoy.<br />
