THE MEN OF NAVIGATION For centuries sailors have plotted their course by using the stars and other celestial bodies. Well they're still at it only now it is a computer and a satillite instead of the north star and a sextant. RANGERS Navigator, CDB Harold F. Griffith, and the men of hisdepartmem perform what might be termed the most familiar and most important roles on any vessel. With pinpoint accuracy they are able to plot exactly RANGERE course to Subic Bay, Hong Kong and other areas vital to the enlightenment and education of all RANGEBMEN. Plotting course and determining position is theprincipaljob of the Navigator and his quartermasters. They are also responsible for main- taing the Quartermaster's Notebook, an exact record of all that takes place aboard ship.

Utilizing these systems has completely changed the concept of ship,s navigation, however the quartermasters still retain a working knowledge of traditional navigational equipment in the event that someone should blow a fuse.
