X-NAV The executive and navigation department go by X-Navv because it makes them sound like a legion of superheros, make sure the ship gets safely from place to place. Navigating an MCM can be a unique challenge for any navigator. X-nav is home to the two functions every Sailor depends on most: the doctor and the guy who handles paychecks. HDCC97 The survival of every man board a ship at sea rests in the shipls doc- tor. On Patriot, that burden falls on HMI and his 8'xl0' battle dressing station. Skibsted, Robert C. HM1 CSWXFMFJ 44 Mocksville, NC 10 24 1 l 1 In 2007 alone, Patriot visited Yonaguni, a Japanese vil- lage with waters less than 30 feet deep, Vladivostok, Russia, a city completely closed to outsiders until 19895 Hai Phong, Vietnam, where the newest charts to be found were from 1976 and Soviet -made, and the Shi- monaseki Straights, with a bridge so low the top of the mast has to be cranked down. ia-N ADMIN F' f Hood, Steven L.
