A navigator is the person on board a ship or aircraft responsible for its navigation. The navigator's primary responsibility is to be aware of ship or aircraft position at all times. Responsibilities include planning the journey, advising the ship's captain or aircraft commander of estimated timing to destinations while en route, and ensuring hazards are avoided. The navigator is in charge of maintaining the aircraft or ship's nautical charts, nautical publications, and navigational equipment, and generally has responsibility for meteorological equipment and communications.
With the advent of GPS, the effort required to accurately determine one's position has decreased by orders of magnitude, so the entire experienced a revolutionary transition since the 1990s with traditional navigation tasks being phased out. The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, for instance, no longer teach aviators how to do celestial navigation.
Shipborne navigators in the U.S. Navy are normally surface warfare officer qualified with the exception of naval aviators and naval flight officers assigned to ship's navigator billets aboard aircraft carriers and large deck amphibious assault ships and who have been qualified at a level equal to surface warfare officers. U.S. Coast Guard officers that are shipboard navigators are normally cutter qualified at a level analogous to the USN officers previously mentioned. Quartermasters are the navigator's enlisted assistants and perform most of the technical navigation duties.

Forget what I know and hear only your voice
To let myself go, I know won't leave me much choice
I've heard it's hard saying no to a woman
I've heard it's hard saying no to a woman like you
I'm gonna need some help to navigate around this
It's gonna take some time to smoke this one out
But if I never try, I guess I'll never know why
It's so hard saying no to a woman
Why it's so hard saying no to a woman like you
So I came here today to share this little heartache
I came here today to tell what I now know
No secret, I guess, most already know this
Man it's hard saying no to a woman
It's so hard saying no to a woman like you
Cause with your finger on the trigger
And the steel between my teeth
I shouldn't let it linger, shouldn't be begging you
I should just leave
Cause if never I try then never I know
