Second Dog Watch

The Second Dog Watch is the period of being on duty (AKA watch) that takes place onboard a vessel between 1800hrs and 2000hrs. It is 2 hours shorter than the usual four hour watches as it is split into First Dog Watch and Second Dog Watch so that those on duty may eat their evening meal.
