090T / 000R
Measurement of Direction
Visual Bearings can be measured in:
0
- Degrees Relative ( # # # R )
0
- Degrees True ( # # # T)
The navigator must convert any of these types of
bearings to True before they can be plotted on the
chart.

Measurement of Distance
Radar - Distance is obtained by a radio wave
that is transmitted into the air and returns as
an echo. The time
interval between
transmission and
return can be
converted into
a physical range.
Used for distance (range) only!!
Not normally used for bearings
Measurement of Distance
STADIMETER
Used to determine precise ranges between ships in formation
