The reason I brought this up is because of the name "Bowditch," a name near and dear to us and, I am sure, the ship didn't have that name just by accident. But, now that we are talking about the "Slocum" I am curious how these navigate since I assume that they can't receive GPS signals while deep in the ocean. Anybody here know how this is done?
