I was on a Liberty Hull for five years with Loran A and a sextant, underway and out there for more that 8 months of the year. I was the senior QM and did all the Celestral, day in and out. Like shooting basketball, I knew the accurcy of each sight as when the basketball left your finger you know if it is good. I did not have a back-up like today, maybe I was off? but I think I was on, the mark. The more you shoot the better you get.
