Throughout the history of warfare at sea, navigation has been an
important basic determinant of victory. Occasionally, new members
of the fraternity of the sea will look upon navigation as a chore
to be tolerated only as long as it takes to find someone else to
assume the responsibility. In my experience, such individuals never
make good naval officers. Commander Hobbs has succeeded in bringing
together the information and practical skills required for that
individual who would take the first step down the road toward
becoming a competent marine navigator. At the outset of this book,
the author stresses the necessity for safe navigation, but there is
another basic tenet of sea warfare that this book serves. The best
weapons system man has ever devised cannot function effectively
unless it knows where it is in relation to the real world, where it
is in relation to the enemy, and where the enemy is in relation to
the real world. Not all defeats can be attributed to this lack of
information, but no victories have been won by those who did not
know where they were.
