Engineers are part of the Restricted Line community, not Unrestricted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jigen III (talkcontribs) 08:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Depends on what you mean by "engineer." If you mean "Engineering Duty Officer" then that is a true statement. If you mean to refer to an officer who stands engineering watches or serves in the Engineering Department on a ship, then they are likely a URL officer.

Following up on the previous comment (from October 2007), this article currently suggests that naval engineering officers are RL ("Examples of RL officers include Engineering Duty Officer, Aeronautical Engineering Duty Officer, ..."), but the "History" section says that engineers were amalgamated "into Unrestricted Line Officers in 1899." I still think that there is a contradiction (or at least the potential for confusion) here. 74.71.72.223 (talk) 05:25, 23 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Command of a ship not at sea

edit

The article explains that URL officers can command a ship at sea. This is also what I was taught in Naval Science at The Citadel. What about ships not at sea? Can a RL officer command a ship when in port? What about a pre-commissioning unit? (I neglected to think of this question when I was a cadet.) Axeman (talk) 03:38, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

– Unnecessary capitalization of a common noun. The pages may predate the exhortation in MOS:CAPSACRS "Do not apply initial capitals in a full term that is a common noun just because capitals are used in its abbreviation." Chris the speller yack 15:46, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
