Worse, given the dreadful lack of new chart editions from NOAA, it
wouldn't surprise me if there were "current" charts with TD lines on
them ten, perhaps even 15 or 20 years after the shutdown of Loran.
Oh, wait, maybe there will be a Notice to Mariners that says "please
erase all the TDs from your chart, Loran has been shut down." ;-)
