Lu,
If we are talking nuclear armagedon, do we really care where we are as apposed to who we are?
I suspect all modern warships, aircraft and everything else military is dead without sophisitated electronics, am I right?We are basically back to spears and arrows. Maybe we should refloat HMS Vivtory, currently dry docked in Portsmouth?
I hate to think our wonderful hobby is all about survivalist post nuclear holocaust?
I am sceptical that we need to justify a return/preservation of cel nav purely on the basis of military worst case. I think our art is good for the univeral soul and useful anyway.
Best as always
Francis
