About this episode: Finding Your Way at Sea
Navy ships at sea today rely on GPS and state-of-the-art communication systems to find their way from point A to point B across vast oceans. That was not the case when the Showboat was commissioned in April 1941. Commander Chuck Gore joins us to talk about the Showboat's navigation system and the men who ensured that the Battleship reached her destinations.
