Many of the Navy's courses (including that one) are accepted for college credit by many universities.

What I described there is the core content of the Navy's professional learning course on ships' buoyancy and stability. I propose that the USN knows more about the topic than you do.

How much they know is immaterial to the difference between concept and convention. I know entirely enough.

I'm studying Comercial Navigation , I saied that they are simple because we don't need to go as deep as a scientist but are a lot of things to learn like Navigation( Estimated, Astrological, Radar , Integrated), Meteorology , Ships Stability , Ships Dynamics , Navigation equipment , Maritime Law , Mathematics and Physics , is's like an all in one profesion.

Commercial navigation:  "The pointy end goes thataway".   Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I ensure you that a Captain knows this things very well . Do you know the risk of an unprepared man on a chemical or oil tanker ?

The Navy has strict standards for advancement. The course was required for officers to advance and it wasn't a gimme. Seems they like keeping their ships afloat. (Or at least sinking on demand rather than accidentally.)

I'm guessing it depends on whether or not you're at the helm.  

(I couldn't help it, all in good fun)

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
