NAVAL SCIENCE 3 CADETS STUDY NAVIGATION
As part of the Naval Science 3 curriculum, cadets are introduced to basic marine navigation. They learn basic definitions, the primary concerns of the navigator, and the four main types of navigation. Since navigation is both and art and a science, cadets actually put the theories they have learned into practice through a series practical exercises including plotting, piloting, and celestial observations. The answers are nothing short of amazing!
