Although the division is small in size, it is of great importance to the ship. The men of Navigation Division, known as Quartermasters, keep the Quartermaster's Notebook in which the Of- ficer of the Deck writes down the ship's log. Other duties of a Quartermaster in- clude, recording the weather, determining the ship's ,position by dead reaconing, clestial, visual, and electronic fixes, and steering the ship during sea details when precision steering 'is required. Quarter- masters must be familiar with the oper- ation of all the equipment on the Bridge and know the meaning of navigational mark- ers and the rules of the road. They also must make all necessary corrections to navigation charts and keep all the ship's clocks on time. At sunset the navigator determines the shiP'S position by taking star readings with a sextant. 4 1 6 J J
