The navigation equipment uses advanced technological methods to determine the exact location of the ship. That's many times more accurate than the sextants used before the advent of the atomic age. NASSAU's modern communica- tion system allows radio contact to many people and places at one timeg on shore, on the ocean, underwater, in the air and to satellites in space, The search radar can detect and determine the nature of objects at great distances from the ship.

Over the years, as the Navy's need for more specialized training has expanded, ET's have been selected to be among the first in more recently established ratings, such as that of Electronic Warfare Technicians.
