Lol. The guy isn't a navigator, he's a short range missile technician. Somehow gets called an "expert" by the video. I'm more of an expert than that, simply because I had to work with the navigators. I've crossed the ocean, and I've seen the course corrections in person that were made to account for the curvature, so as to optimize the most efficient course.
Still looking for you to man up and answer a simple question:
What a blatant liar and fool you are:
First off hes an actual Navy Officer, a surface missile instructor and a master training specialist, so he is an expert in what he does and confirms there is no Coriolis effect as well as being able to target other ships at 50 miles with a 2 inch direct line of sight pencil beam, which according to spherical trigonometry should be well below the horizon and so called curve of the Earth.
Secondly - ships do not course correct for the curve of the Earth and if you heard some ship captain talking about that, it was probably because you were mopping the floor and it was an inside joke making fun of you. I literally dare you to show the spherical trigonometry you think you need in order to travel the seas or fly through the air.
Airplane pilots, nor ships captains never need to ever calculate for the curve of the earth.
Was the reason Ahab never able to catch Moby Dick because he failed to calculate for the curve of the Earth? I don't think so.
