5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Navigation Reference, October 9, 2001

By A Customer

This book is the only reference one needs for any navigational issue. As a U.S. Naval Officer, I use this book to keep my navigation skills sharp. While it is an "official" publication, it is so useful I decided I needed a copy of my own, and purchased one. When I was instructing midshipmen at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, I routinely used Bowditch as my sourcebook, to ensure I was ready to teach each navigational subject (especially celestial nav). On the occasions where a midshipman asked me a question I could not immediately answer, I invariably found the answer in Bowditch. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars The lexicon of all navigation information, April 30, 1999

By A Customer

One will find this book in every chart room on every U.S. Capital ship, Coast Guard and Navy alike. One would expect to find this book in every seabag of every professional mariner. If you are a professional mariner and don't have it... get it! Get it?

"Ship handling" is something you get a feel for, specific to each vessel. Navigation, on the otherhand, can be learned (and used) by a hermit in the desert. Read more
