Comment from a reader on the post: Who Cares if the Navy Trashed a Lousy Coral Reef?:
The charts where seven miles off position. What is the
culpability of the government in allowing incorrect data be printed by a
charting firm that distributes worldwide data without checking its accuracy! Give
me a break!
Bugle: It wasn’t a charting firm that produced the inaccurate
maps, which were eight nautical miles off in the placement of the reef. It was a US government agency. Note this story from Navy Times, which
states:
The Digital Nautical Charts (DNC) used by the Guardian and
most Navy ships are produced by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
(NGA), a largely secret organization headquartered in Springfield,Va.
