I'll note that being in a lifeboat may also be an example of when it would be useful for the sailor.... Sean C wrote: > But then, why does the U.S. Navy require it? In my humble opinion, it's akin to something like a life boat. One could ask: "What is the practical relevance of a life boat today?", and I believe the answer would be the same as for celestial. It's there "just in case it's needed"
