Navipalor Adinin Olliccr Navigation (from the Latin A ' : VIS, a ship, plus AGERE, to direct) is the process of directing the movement of the vehicle from one point to another. The vehicle can be a surface craft or ship, a submarine, an aircraft, or a space craft. To make the deFmition complete, the qualiflcation of safely or successfully should be added. Navigation can properly be described as both an art and a science. It is a science in that it involves the development and use of instruments, methods, tables, and almanacs; an art in that it involves the proficient use of these tools and in the application and interpretation of information gained from such use. Much work must be done with precise instruments and exact mathematical tables - yet when the observations have been taken, and the calculations made, the seasoned navigator applies a measure of judgement when he says we are here on the chart .
