NV SC 3020 - Naval Operations and Navigation II

This course is a continuation of NV SC 3010. Navigation skills are enhanced by a study of maneuvering board fundamentals. Vector analysis, basic maneuvering board solutions, naval formations, visual and shipboard radiotelephone procedures are studied to provide a basic foundation in shipboard operations. The course concludes with a study of naval shiphandling, watchstanding fundamentals, underway replenishment fundamentals, and command and control issues. Case studies of navigation and naval operation accidents reinforce the lessons learned and underscore the need for vigilance when operating ships at sea.
