I call myself Nav. beacuse I am not the Captain, just a member of the crew.
In that regard I may be unusual as there many Captains here.

Now, why do you call yourself "Lady"

Seriously, I'd like to know why some sailor would call themselves 'nav'

Are there many sailors out there that can't navigate?
