And three days after I wrote about this on NavList, I see that one Tim
Queeney blogged about it on oceannavigator.com:
"The U.S. Navy is well known to be secretive about its nuclear submarines.
[...] But as ON contributor Greg Rudzinski points out, there is one piece of
gear that sub officer's will discuss: the fact that the boat carries a
sextant. Check out this article on the new U.S.S. New Hampshire from the
Nashua, New Hampshire Telegraph. One of the sub's officers actually admits
there are only four members of the crew who know how to use this rare
navigational device. "

A hot topic. :-)
