I wonder if anyone knows what they still teach the RN about astro navigation. (I am believe I am right that the RAF and RN still use the terminology Astro rather than Celestial?) . I am fairly sure it is taught at HMS Collingwood and I found this interesting article about Lieutenant Jon Sutcliff pioneering the use of a planetarium as a teaching aid. https://hmscoa.org/sword/jonsutcliff.html It might of course be secret!
