[p. 209-216, PDF, 89KB] http://www.aob.bg.ac.yu/paob/75/pdf/209-216.pdf For yachts in Spain, (of course for merchants), and France the sextant is mandatory aboard for oceanic navigation. UK, USA, other countries? The linked file is: "Automated Celestial Systems for Attitude & Position Determination" by George Kaplan, USNO, notes the use of celestial navigation in defense, (DoD) by means of a Star Tracker.
