    1) When a ship changes course in the northern hemisphere from north to west, the fore-back (F/B) should be slewed 33.7 degrees to port of the forward-aft centerline. 2) When a ship changes course from north to south, the permanent deviation of the compass increases due to the Earth's magnetic field being stronger when heading south. 3) Gaussin error causes temporary deviations while a ship is rapidly swinging between courses, with deviations to the west when swinging to starboard and deviations to the east when swinging to port. The deviations cease within a couple minutes once the ship steadies on its new course.

    Change in deviation due to change in course

    From the figure:

    Tan angle of slew from F& A centre line = induced C / induced B


    Example 1: In northern hemisphere, ib = -3 and ic =+ 2 where should the F/B be
    placed?

    Therefore the F/B should be slewed to port from ford

    OA line should rotate 90-33.7 = 56.3 to left


    Ship’s heading should be 56.3 to left of N. Therefore vessel must head N 56.3 W or S
    56.3 E
    F/B should be slewed to starboard from fwd.
    To determine sign
    F/B to port of F & A line from ford means resultant of iB and iC acts towards
    starboard quarter

    GAUSSIN ERROR

    When a vessel alters course rapidly, the different parts of the ship’s structure cuts the
    Earth’s magnetic field at varying rates. This sets up an EMF and therefore an electric
    current in the ship’s hull. This current sets up a magnetic field of its own, which
    according to Lenz’s law will act in a direction opposite to that of the ship’s swing
    which caused it. There is also a short lag in the shift of the induced poles in the ship’s
    S.I. structures, because of hysteresis. Due to both these effects, while the ship swings
    to starboard the compass deviates to the west. If the ship swings to port, the compass
    will deviate to the east. The name of the deviation remains the same for all 360° of
    the ship’s swing provided the direction of swing remains the same, but the amount of
    the deviation will increase and decrease quadrantally due to the unsymmetrical shape
    of the ship. Thus, a rapid swing to starboard produces a -A and -F, while a rapid
    swing to port produces a +A and +E. This error is present only while the ship is
    swinging and ceases to exist within a couple of minutes of the ship steadying on her
    next course. Bearings observed while the ship is swinging should not, therefore, be
    relied upon.
