About this file
This document is an exhibit design guide for the "We Have the Watch" naval exhibit, detailing comprehensive graphic and panel design specifications for a museum installation. The design guide provides precise technical instructions for creating 95.2" tall panels with specific color specifications (using PANTONE colors), text placement guidelines, and layout requirements across three exhibit parts. The guide covers panel elements including 39 hardback panels, 5 fabric SEG prints, multiple casework displays, and audio-visual components, with detailed placement instructions for text plaques, graphics, and museum artifacts. The design systematically breaks down exhibit sections (Parts 1-3) with precise measurements, color palettes, typography guidelines, and placement specifications for images, text, and exhibit cases, ensuring a consistent and professional visual presentation of naval historical narratives.

Running a tight ship prepares the crew for future action.
Sailors stick to an around the clock schedule to bring order to a complex – and unpredictable – deployment at sea. Rising at dawn, the crew follows a general routine that includes quarters inspections, strict mealtimes, and rotating shifts for sleep and standing watch. An itemized plan of the day offers structure by pairing fixed duties with start times, accounting for every hour of the day and night.
A seabag check was a regular part of a Sailor’s routine. Recruits were issued a bundle of items – an assortment of bedding and uniform pieces – that were meticulously cleaned and packed into duffels, or seabags. Over time, the bags themselves have changed in size, shape, and material in response to their evolving contents. Today’s recruits receive modernized backpacks and equipment, and inspections are more relaxed.
“we just followed our usual routine” Signalman JameS a. Dunn, 1944
“It works because I fixed it” Fire Controlman natalie taDiF, 2018
Although unpleasant, Sailors pitch in to tidy, sweep, and scrub their ships.
Routine cleaning sanitizes ships, maintains equipment, and removes debris that can hinder operations. Housekeeping and mess duties are additional responsibilities dispersed among the crew.
Diligent Sailors scrub USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower’s (CVN 69) flight deck to clear it for efficient takeoffs and landings, March 2019. Any rubbish left on the deck, regardless of size, can potentially damage an aircraft engine and jeopardize crewmembers’ safety.
