In writing up the logbook at the end of your watch, you make an error in writing an entry. What is the proper means of correcting this error?

Correct Answer: Option C — Cross out the error with a single line, and write the correct entry, then initial it.

Proper logbook maintenance requires that entries remain legible and unaltered. To correct an error, draw a single line through the incorrect entry so it remains readable, write the correct information nearby, and initial and date the change. Erasures or blotting out entries are prohibited as they suggest tampering with legal records.
