Question: Whats the relationship between ship compass, marine chronometer and speed log?

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 07:55 AM PDT

The relationship between the compass and the speed log is direct and relative. Use both in conjunction, in order to establish an estimate of your current position (direct - speed:direction) relative to all of your previously determined positions in order to record your vessel's progress, retrospectively, on the chart.

The relationship of the chronometer to both of these is indirect (to them) and absolute. Use this, when weather conditions permit, in conjunction with a sextant in order to establish your latitude (and hence, also hemisphere) as well as the difference (in direct relation to the chronometer) between your own 'local' time - noon (by the sextant) and the corresponding time at the meridian (by the chronometer). And thereby also, your longitude.

Update your chart with this, by now absolute position. (Assuming your reading, and your calculations are accurate).

Note: Inaccuracy will be more significant the nearer you are to the Equator and less significant, the nearer you are to the poles. For example, an error of one minute of time in your reading of local noon (on the sextant) at the Equator will result in a corresponding error of position of about 1.15 Statute miles. (1.00 Nautical mile) Whereas the same error at, say, 60 degrees north/south will result in a corresponding error of position of about 0.58 Statute mile. (0.50 Nautical mile).

Question: How are submarines taken to sea?

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 02:31 AM PDT

Your question makes no sense.

Submarines are built in boatyards.
Boatyards are near docks, rivers, seas or similar locations.
The submarine is launched into the water, just like any other boat.
Why would it be any different?
