At the risk of nostalgia, I'm posting this sugar sweet video from the U.S.Navy about Combat Information Center (C.I.C.). This is a way to render a little more vivid, for you dear reader, one of the early chapters in my life.

Pardon the chutzpa and allow me to annotate my own bibliography with a video or two.
One reason to join the Navy is to see the world. I saw a lot of it via radar and other segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. Isn't it kind of Kantian, moving through the world inside a kind of cranium wherein you constantly model and remodel a representation of it?
Here's a more time specific video from that era of mine:
