Narrative:

Flight was cleared to fly the dca 328 degree right after departure. This departure route was discussed by both myself (captain) and the first officer who would be flying the departure. The departure routing was again discussed during th takeoff briefing. After liftoff I told the first officer to begin his turn to intercept the 328 degree right. (He later said he didn't hear me and was awaiting vectors from ATC.) tower came on and told us to turn left to intercept the dca 328 degree right. The first officer still didn't response. I told him to turn immediately to avoid P56, at which time he initiated a shallow bank to the left. I then stated in no uncertain terms, 'get this airplane on the 328 right,' and proceeded in helping him turn the aircraft. During the turn I thought I could see the river below us through the clouds. Neither tower nor departure indicated an airspace violation.
