Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Constellation look to the stars to help find their way, but for a growing number of other tasks, they gaze at their Palms.

Many of these seamen received their Palm Pilots from the Navy. Currently the Navy provides nearly all new officers with these handheld computers. Graduates of the Naval Academy, and many other programs also get use of one of these devices.

Lt. Mike Biemiller says that using a Palm Pilot cuts his workload in half. As he is making his comments he watches a Hornet jet landing onboard the ship. Lt. Biemiller records the landing data onto his Palm Pilot. He will upload the information to the ships network at a later time.
