Publications
Introduction
Government agencies conduct field surveys and research studies of their
own. They collaborate with each other and with similar activities in many
foreign nations to make sure their charts and other publications will
contain the most recent and accurate information. A very valuable input
to all types of navigational documents results from reports made by
vessel’s crews as to new and changed situations.
This chapter is divided into three areas:
Transit Planning Publications
Almanacs and Sight Reduction Tables
Publication Correction and Ordering
The following table has been provided as a quick reference guide. It
gives a description of many of the publications that Quartermasters use
routinely. Many of these publications will be covered in greater detail in
this chapter or elsewhere in this text.
