Here's an article about a tour of the new Virginia class submarine "New Hampshire" which is almost ready to joing the fleet (the URL below should be all on one line; just in case your web browser or email client doesn't render it that way): http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081021/NEWS01/31 0219927/-1/news01 Right at the top, the article notes that the submarine carries a sextant, just in case. Later in the article, it's explained that they carry no paper charts. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
