Chad your wrong the navigator used his mastery of mathematics not the capt. The capt gave the numbers to the navigator and weapons officer and the put the numbers to work.. I spent 4 years on the bridge of a US warship and never did the capt do the navigators job. He would ask questions about different course changes and time how long it was to get the answer to build morale but never did anyone elses job. Heck he would even ask the deck crew questions on the station they were standing. Never to demean, but to build confidence and morale.
The only thing the chronometer is simulating now is that your navigator is in his rack and not at his station.
