Chart Work Que Paper

This document contains a navigation officer cadet final exam with 6 questions testing knowledge of chart work, tide calculations, and position finding. Question 1 defines navigation terms and identifies chart symbols. Question 2 involves calculating compass and magnetic courses accounting for deviation. Question 3 requires using chart data to calculate two ship positions based on bearings of a light and current effect. Question 4 similarly involves calculating positions, courses, and accounting for current. Questions 5-6 require using tide tables to find heights of tide at specific times.
