but young officers coming nowadays aboard and don,t know what a sextant is for !!!,,, To determine the wind direction and force they have Excellsheets and tables. 9 of 10 do not go outside the bridge and look or out the window.
When the buttoms work all is fine,,the moment not,, they call for Service !!!
and all that not "need to know anymore" started when tick lists and four possible answers per question in test were invented.
I saw once a question in a test sheet
How long is a seamile
a) 150 mm
b) 250 m
c) 1852m
d) 17 bananas long
what you think officers know when they know that answer ?

On my ship the Deck Officers still use their sextants - and I encourage them NOT to use a calculator either, log tables and mental arithmetic only.
That way, should we ever lose the GPS they'll still know what to do.
