    Hey, I wasn't there.  Captain Anderson was and these are his declassified results, published under his own name.  I'm not about to call him a liar!

    This is not consistent with the data on the accuracy of modern inertial
    navigation systems which were discussed on this list approx two years
    ago. The discussion had ballistic missiles in the title, but it was
    mostly about inertial navigation.
    
    Some data from manufacturer advertisements were posted. They are worse
    by orders of magnitude, if I remember correctly.
    Perhaps we had a regress in this technology since the times of Nautilus:-)
    
    Alex.
