A needs assessment strategy was designed to identify and assess differences between actual and desired performance of main propulsion personnel and deficiencies in the various support and administrative systems. Shipboard managers and operator personnel were interviewed aboard the 'pilot' ship during a 14-day transit from Japan to the United States during November 1977. Both managers and operators reported the primary performance problem to be watchstanding; specifically, the difficulty of attaining and maintaining three fully qualified propulsion watch sections at all watch stations. Substantial deficiencies were also reported in the support and administration systems. The needs assessment strategy provided sufficient information about main propulsion performance deficiencies to initiate development of training solutions. (Author)
