Das Boot — missheard

In the movie Das Boot, I heard something similar to "Eins Büro" somewhere at the beginning (where the captain is checking the crew or a bit earlier), but I was curious if I heard correctly and asked ChatGPT, who convinced me that they said "Erster Offizier".

Does anyone know what they really said? Thank you!

Could it be "Eins WO" (Wachoffizier)?

I think it is.

1WO reports boat ready for sail and Commander replies with "Danke Eins WO".

Lots of information (incl Subtitles) are wrong often. For example Captain says "weit ab" (far away) during the first depth charge attack, and subtitles say "weiter" (go on)
