- Submarines had highly accurate inertial navigation systems able to fix their positions to within a few hundred yards from one second to another.†
Chpt 5. *
- This was theoretically possible, but the captain quickly realized that the inertial navigation system had a built-in error factor of several hundred yards; this was aggravated by gravitational disturbances, which affected the "local vertical," which in turn affected the inertial fix.†

- Russian skippers were known to pull some crazy stunts, and perhaps they were trusting to a combination of inertial systems, magnetic and gyro compasses attuned to a specific track.†

- With careful use of gravitometers in the ship's inertial navigation system, he could plot the vessel's location to within a hundred meters, half the length of the ship.†
Chpt 6.
- They use inertial navigation systems, same as us.†

- The chart table was interfaced through the BC-10 into the ship's inertial navigation system, SINS.†
