335. On 30 July your 1030 ZT DR position is LAT 19° 02' N, LONG 138° 12' W. You are on course 309° T, speed 24 knots. Determine your 1200 position using the following observations of the Sun. Zone Time GHA Declination Ho 1220 138°25.0' N 18°22.3' 88°43.3' 1226 139°55.0' N 18°22.2' 88°24.0'

The running fix, determined by reducing the observed altitudes of the sun at 1220 and 1226 to lines of position (LOPs), retarding those LOPs to a common time of 1200, and finding their intersection, is located at 19 29.7' N, 138 42.0' W. This position is consistent with the ship's estimated position and the observed altitudes, making it the most accurate representation of the ship's location at 1200.
