The Coast Guard knows how to navigate (even if the Navy doesn't!). This official guide to Coast Guard navigation procedures is an excellent resource for anyone who is responsible for safe navigation at sea. As the Manual observes: Navigation is a critical and fundamental competency for all underway operations. This Manual assists CO/OICs and Navigators in carrying out their responsibilities outlined in Reference (a), and complements References (b) through (l). It also provides uniform standards and guidance to ensure the navigational accuracy and safety of Coast Guard cutters, boats, and their crews during operations. This Manual leverages the capabilities provided by electronic navigation systems found on cutters, cutter boats, and boats while retaining the capability to conduct traditional forms of navigation if, and when, electronic means of navigation are not available. Analysis of operational mishaps and studies have shown that risks associated with navigation can be systematically controlled by: (1) Strong knowledge and skills in navigation fundamentals, doctrine, and techniques. (2) Preventing accumulation of errors in the flow of information. (3) Verifying vessel position using all available means. (4) Strong knowledge regarding the structure, capabilities, and limitations of electronic charting and Global Positioning System (GPS) data. (5) Compliance with established navigational procedures.
