if Although one of the smaller departments in the TANNER, the Navigation Department is equally as important as the others in that it guides the ship's many movements through path- less oceans, hidden coastal reefs, and shallow harbors. p In order to accomplish its mission effective- ly, theQuartermastersand Signalmen of the Navi- gation Department must continuously plot the ship's position, which is always changing due to the, ship's speed, course, wind, sea, current, and possible compass error. Also, the means by which the ship's position is determined varies. Piloting is used when within sight of land and involves using landmarks, buoys, lighthouses and soundingsas references for positions. On the high seas, celestial navigation is utilized, and the stars, planets, sun, and moon become reference points as lighthouses in the sky. During periods of fog or low visibility, dead reckoning positions are obtained from the speed the ship is making along its course. Electronic aids such as Radar, Loran, and Consol can be used during these periods but are restricted to the close proximity of land and certain geogra- phic localities. I In addition to navigating, Signalmen and Quartermasters transmit and receive visual co- mmunications by flashing light, semaphore, and flaghoist. And, as Quartermaster of the Watch, they rotate around the clock recording the events which take- place in and around the ship, weather observations,' oitometer log readings, and com- pass checks. W ' Indeed, a small department .... but an indis- pensable part- of a great team,. which has made this cruise one of TANNER's most successful. recieving message which flag is whicl'u???
