Poll of the Day > Hey, I have a weird, weird question about the Navy and charts

(+) Yeah! (+)

So, I was reading a Navy textbook, and it mentioned an office that I could order a naval chart. Does anyone know if a civilian could order one of those? Or if it's it's a good idea, because I could easily go on some sort of watch list from that.
But damn that would be cool to go on a wall.

a naval chart is literally just a map of the sea

why would you go on a watch list for that?

^ that. Turns out they'd like you to have that shit so you don't pilot your boat into a fucking rock and have to have the coast guard come save you.

That's fair actually. No need to mention I don't have a boat.
Oh boy, this will be cool.

honestly, it seems like you'd want either an antique style chart, or a topographical one

Or just large scale enough that there's a bunch of stuff to look at.
