So, when ships come in to port, they don't bring themselves in. A Pilot boat goes out to meet them a few miles off shore, the "little" Pilot boat sidles up alongside the big ship, a pilot steps off the pilot boat and on to the ladder on the side of the ship, climbs up/boards, and takes control of the helm. He (the Pilot who boarded) becomes the captain, and gets the boat through the channels and to the proper dock. A friend is one of those Pilots, and sent me this shot of him turning the ship in the turning basin, then backing it in to port. A 600' ship.

My first JROTC instructor was a retired Army 1SG. He served in all three, from 1942 to 1968. He was the very definition of "grizzled".

In the Navy, the harbor pilot is brought out the carriers by helo when entering port, and returned by helo when the ship departs.. That's really the only practical way to do it for carriers.

In the Navy, on SUBMARINES, the pilot is brought on a small boat like originally posted, returns when we dock and is the first to walk across the brow.

The shortest duration possible would be 1945 - 1962. It is possible.

I have met a few 12 year olds that could pass for much older. I know one boy that is 6 foot and looks every bit of 16 at least. I've seen some girls that were 12 and looked much older.
