NORFOLK, Va. (July 24, 2008) The attack submarine USS Scranton (SSN
756) departs Naval Station Norfolk's Pier 3 for a brief underway to
complete Electronic Navigation Certification using the Voyage
Management System (VMS). VMS, a combination of digital charts, constant
global positioning system fixes, environmental sensors and electronic
command and control, will allow the submarine to eliminate many of the
constraining aspects of navigation when using paper charts. U.S. Navy
