You are right,everything must come from the ship and be already on
board. In case of war many tricks will be played to cause problem ours
and theirs. The Time for equipment and men must not wait for an
answer, it must be ever present. I have seen in many cases where
navigation must be done with and without equpment. The training at
GTMO (use to be!) was to break one navigation equipment after another
to see how far you can navigate with nothing but your head and string,
if need be.That is why I fear that the future Navy navigators will use
use electronics instead of knowlege. Why do we have groundings? I have
written articals on that subject. That is one reason that I was happy
to see and join NAVLIST. Others seamen should be also be ready for no
electronic navigation also.
