Who operates NET 83 during General Quarters (GQ)?

The operation of NET 83 during General Quarters (GQ) is the responsibility of the PACC, or the Primary Alternate Control Center. During GQ, various teams and personnel work together to ensure that the ship is effectively managing any emergencies or operational tasks. The PACC plays a crucial role in maintaining communications, monitoring systems, and overseeing the ship's overall readiness and response during critical situations.

Understanding the structure and roles in GQ is essential. The AFT steering helmsman primarily focuses on managing the ship's steering and propulsion from the rear end of the vessel, while the main control room officer oversees the main control room's operations but doesn’t directly manage NET 83. The damage control officer has a specific focus on handling damage control scenarios, addressing physical damage to the ship. However, the PACC serves as a central hub for various operations and decision-making, making it the correct choice for operating NET 83 during such a critical state.
