From these comments, sounds like there is need for more real sailors instead of IT techs on the bridge these days.

@ CARLOS, I have no problem with the digital area, I like it
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 ?

All your digital toys can be taken away in one hit from a lightning strike, solar flare or jamming. Far too many people today are reliant on one system - GPS. These people are not navigators, but trained monkeys who follow a red line on a radar and are capable of little else.
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.

It is the digital ERA friends. That time I picked up a sextant and thousands of calculations were being made, slowly dying.

@James, I hear you,,but unfortunately if nowadays are not 20 pc screens and 100 alarm buttons and motion detectors etc installed,,they can,t navigate anymore,, When I use a compass and a pencil and draw a course line and check the distance with the compass my young officers tending to call the guys which bring the jackets which close on the back !!!!

These weren't bad. Saying that, all any professional navigator needs is a chart table, compass, and a big clanking Chadburn, the rest of it is spurious!

That's GOOD,, makes it easy to work with. Newer designs are not always better,,in my experience contrary

Looks a standard Samsung bridge, it hasn't changed much in almost 20 years.
