These charts were prepared through the collaboration of the US Navy Hydrographic Office and US Naval Air Combat Intelligence. They were “designed primarily for use by Navy and Marine pilots operating from carriers or island bases and were intended for use in the event of a forced sea landing and as an aid in the navigation of rubber life rafts.”
