Seeing stars, again -- Naval Academy reinstates celestial navigation

From The Capital Gazette via H//T at Instapundit:

Maritime nostalgia, however, isn't behind the return.

Rather, it's the escalating threat of cyber attacks that has led the Navy to dust off its tools to measure the angles of stars.

After all, you can't hack a sextant.

This will be handy for when the Chinese knock out GPS. Discontinuing the practice was hubris; it’s a good sign that they’re going back to it now.

I'm flabbergasted the Navy would eliminate classes in celestial navigation. Some Old School Admiral must have said something.
