When we drive a ship, we learn to steer by both the magnetic compass and the inertial navigation system. The magnetic compass always points toward “true north,” based on the Earth’s gravitational field. It’s a relatively unchanging constant that the ship can reliably steer by. The inertial navigation system, on the other hand, is calibrated internally and drives the ship’s motion. In general, these two references — magnetic and inertial — are aligned, or at least close enough that any difference, known as deviation, can be corrected. For 45 years, I followed my magnetic and the Navy’s inertial compasses and…

Over the last several years, we’ve done a lot of reporting on how Washington state manages its wildlife. The reason for this is that Washington has been a clear example of how anti-hunting philosophy can creep into a state’s wildlife management strategy and lead to absurd hunting restrictions.  The State’s department of fish and wildlife functions through its wildlife commission, which consists of nine citizen members appointed by the governor. As Andrew McKean reported earlier this year, there has been “simmering hostility over the…

According to a report from Bloomberg, maritime security firms Vanguard Tech and Ambrey have assessed the tanker collision as a navigational accident with no indications of foul play or links to the ongoing regional conflict. Both firms have…
