GRAVEYARD WATCH I: .. The ificknanie for the midwatch, ‘tlwsc bleak hours from 2400 to 0400, is the graveyard watch to the men of the Navy. Authorities say this came about because of the many accidents that happened at night. This is not the original name however, for old time seamen who sailed called these hours the gravy eye watch because their eyes felt sticky from sleep. In the process of being much used the ‘gravy cye’ 'was the victim of many slips bc-l tween the tongue and the ear and became the ‘graveyard’.
