I Navigation V r fa- . is 'ff Md' 'MH Q J ln the movies you see them with a sextant hoisted to their eye, shooting the stars, or hunched over a huge chart stepping off miles of scaled distance with dividers. It happens something like that in real life, but in WHITE PLAINS' chart room, the ship's Quartermasters also utilize sophisticated electronic equipment to fix the ship's position. Still, the most accurate method is the age old concept of using a sextant to shoot the position ofthe sun and stars. Once position and course have been determined YVHITE PLAINS Quartermasters stand watch on the bridge to maintain the ship's log or take the helm during underway replenishments.
