U.S. Navy Regulation, Article 1031 issued in 1920 required Navy vessels to keep time based on
the standard time zones. Paragraphs 6e and 8 however gave the commander the authority to set
his clocks in a non-standard way (but he must note in the logbook the exact "hours, minutes and

non-standard time or under circumstances that "may render desirable a departure from the regular
method."gl
