Na viga tion Department The Navigation Department is responsi- ble for safely guiding the Missouri across the seas. Quartermasters are continually updating the ship ' s position. A visitor to the bridge will find the Quartermaster of the Watch (QMOW) consulting electronic devices such as satel- lite receivers and radio navigation receiv- ers that compute navigational data; or the QMOW may have a sextant in hand, prac- ticing the ancient art of celestial naviga- In addition to determining the ships po- sition, the QMOW is ta sked with main- taining the ship ' s deck log and other offi- cial records that pertain to significant events onboard Missouri. While not on watch, quartermasters are planning future movements of the ship. This work is critical during a deployment into troubled waters such as the North Arabian Sea or the Arabian Gulf. Getting from point A to point B involves ex- tensive research and meticulous attention to detail. Charts have to be prepared and publications studied, to insure that data is not overlooked. The finished product is a safe voyage and a safe return to homeport! Last, but not least, the quartermaster is often called upon to steer the ship during restricted maneuvering evolutions. MIS- SOURI is fortunate to have some of the finest helmsmen in the fleet.
