Do commercial vessels (ocean going tugs, bulk carriers, container ships, cruise ships, research vessels, tankers, etc, etc.) carry sextants?
How likely are the doomsday scenarios which would disable the satellite network (please, no paranoid conspiracy theories)?
Are there any accounts of sailboats meeting their end soley because of a
GPS failure?
Are sailors the only ones still using sextants, as part of some "old school" perception?
Has the sextant been relegated to a hobby?
I''m confused......
