An Watch Leader (Section Leader) either in port or underway, is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the current stationed watch section. It doesn't necessarily have to be an Officer, though an Officer typically is in charge overall, with a senior Petty Officer actually doing the actual coordination and administration.
Underway, the watch commander is the Officer of the Deck - in port, the title is either Officer of the Day or Officer of the Deck, depending on where the command is located. In any case, the duty is the same - act as the senior supervisor for the current watch section, which typically involves safety, security, communications and maintenance operations for the command.
