[SBE] Time standardization idea

[David R. Wilson]

The only fly in the ointment is operators that have to read the time.

I would much rather go with UTC.  It makes life much easier.  In a
previous job the crew I worked with finished changing all the clocks
about 5 months after the time change.  It was a major pain finding all
of the clocks that needed to be modified.
