While on a Coast Guard cutter in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, my radar-room staff was being tested on navigating the radar.  We were able to tell the bridge what course to steer, based on the land, buoys and other ships spotted on the screen.  But we could never tell what type of ships they were---all we saw were blips.  At one point, our radar operator identified a target as the Newport ferry, supplying its course and speed.  After he received a top score, with extra credit for identifying the ship, I asked him how he had known what it was.  He took the ferry schedule out of his pocket.
