When I was in the Navy when we adjusted clocks in the middle of the night the watch on duty just sucked up an extra hour going West and got a short watch going East. The watches were staggered across 3 or 4 teams or sections who covered 5 or 7 watches a day so nobody "always" got a long or short watch.
I was in the Pacific so short watches were a sign we were headed home.
