Which impairment to navigation resulted when 18th century ships lost neutral buoyancy?

💡 Explanation

Ships needed accurate bearings for navigation, therefore loss of buoyancy impacted bearing precision because changes in the center of gravity caused unpredictable alterations in the ship’s list impacting measurements gathered via celestial triangulation, rather than waves etc.
