I’m guessing no GPS, lights, sonar, Internet, phones or satellite maps.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Dear Steven,
If you acTUAlly bothered to read THE article, you’d SEE that “within a few hundred verts of the Chinese frontier”. I dare you TO refute that WITH facts.

The GPS and satellite maps were of to low a resolution to be of much use. I would also hazard a guess that the vessel was not a nuclear powered ice breaker class freighter!
After all a nuclear powered ice breaker class freighter is just a modern day version of an ocean going steam ship. It just uses a little different method of heating the water.
Actually, back then metallurgy was so poor we had to use wooden satellites for navigation. Sometimes it gets pretty dry up there in space and the satellite will warp, throwing off all the navigation signals (it is rather heavily dependent on the length of the telegraph wires remaining constant to insure an accurate reckoning). I ended up in Biafra one time when I meant to sail to Bongo Toga!
This is a cool one!!
