I wonder if this played any role in the recent Navy accident. It seems there were multiple safeguards which failed, but it would be very interesting if there were GPS issues as well. http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/16/politics/us-navy-destroyer-collides-with-merchant-ship-japan/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/16/politics/us-navy-destroyer-col...

Unlikely. The ACX crystal was traveling in a straight line for hundreds of miles before the collision. Just before the collision she made a slight turn to port in order to navigate a narrow straight. Her trajectory was entirely consistent with her destination. There's no indication she didn't know exactly where she was. (And I mean that literally: the ship knew where it was. The evidence indicates that the crew was asleep.) Reference: http://blog.rongarret.info/2017/06/theres-something-very-odd-about-uss.html http://blog.rongarret.info/2017/06/theres-something-very-odd...
