Default Should I learn celestial navigation before doing circumnavigation ?

Celestial Navigation, while quite romantic and "salty", are no longer
necessary for worldwide navigation.

No longer necessary, true, but for a long distance sailor the ability to
use it can/could come in handy for many reasons.
Hell, we could say that the Mark 1 eyeball or soundings are no longer
necessary, but we still use them and find good reasons to do so.
