NAVIGATION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
NAVIGATION SYSTEMS
General
The navigation systems on the LCM-8 Mod 2 allow the crew to determine the vessel's position, plot the vessel's course, and
make clear the vessel's location to other vessels and shore facilities. The navigation system consists of navigation lights,
navigation horn, Global Positioning System (GPS), and radar.
Navigation Lights
General
The LCM-8 Mod 2's navigation lights permit other vessels to see the LCM-8 Mod 2 at night. The lights are controlled by
switches mounted in the pilothouse console. By displaying specific arrangement of lights, the operator lets other vessels
know the LCM-8 Mod 2's status (e.g. making way, anchored, towing, not under command). Operation of the lights and their
specific arrangements are discussed in WP 0014 00.
