> still maintain contiguous millisecond accuracy of all shipboard equipment events
can you elaborate on the purpose of this? is it for legal requirements? some kind of "black box" recorder? why does timezone matter for such low-level event data?
Naval boats cost a fortune. The telemetry from the onboard engines/machines/computers needs to be in sync, and they don't always have compatible timekeeping systems, so sometimes it needs to be translated into a common format and recorded in our db's.
If something goes wrong, a lot of parties both internal and external are interested in reviewing the (extremely detailed) logs for the purposes of insurance, or court-martial, or whatever.
