Byron:
Just curious, what were the years you were deployed on the USS Abraham
Lincoln? Interesting history here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Abraham_Lincoln_(SSBN-602)
-- Richard Langley

Quoting Byron Franklin :

> The sextant 3 arm fix is accurate, the compass plot with know error
> is quicker allows for better Navaid selection with a moving ship and
> has a simular accuracy. For placing a bouy or some act of that kind
> the sextant is better, but a trained team and ship moving some
> distance using the bearing is better.
> The missle sub can't use either,underwater. I was trained for the
> sub SINS and was incharge of the navigation team, and made many
> patrols on the SSBN 602, the accuracy of both sextant and compass
> plot would be fine, but not needed.
