How far has her refurbishment gone, and where will she be laid up and opened to the public?

Btw, on my ships I try to induce my officers to make at least once a month a celestial position for the sole reason that they understand what it is about. Unfortunately the young officers nowadays are fully trained on push buttoms and read the results and not knowing to the least where they really are.
I had not too long ago a officer who answered me on simple question where the sun is at a given time (one day North lattitude, next day South lattitude, over the Equator) that the sun stands then over the North pole !!!!!

but in the 50,s when she was build there was no GPS navigation or before that, Sat-Nav or before and same time Decca/Loran etc and such navigational aids. so, that wooden cabinet had in that time it,s rightfull purpose

I had the opportunity to go aboard the Savannah once when she was at Charleston, S.C. What struck me about this beautiful ship was that she was a peculiar combination of old and new technology. For example, there was a time when a ship's officer who didn't have his own sextant wasn't regarded as a real professional. All ships' chart rooms used to have a special wooden cabinet built in, where the officers could stow their sextants. The Savannah's chart room had such a cabinet. It struck me as curiously quaint that a ship with such a high-tech power plant should be provided with facilities for the officers to perform something as old-fashioned as celestial navigation!
