The training is still the same basics though.
My mate's daughter has just come home from her first voyage to Japan, as a cadet deck officer, and it's still chipping and painting, mooring up, [ she was apparently on mooring and warping duties on the bow of her ship being shown the ropes by two experiences Ab's for an 11 hour stretch whilst going through the Panama Canal] anchoring and windlass control, chart work, bridge watch keeping and getting her manual steering hours in over the 7 week voyage to gain her deep water steering certificate, steering under Japanese pilot control to name but a few of her duties. And she is loving every minute of her new life in the Merchant Navy.
So maybe all these new fangled aids do help in later life at sea,but the cadets are still taught the basics to a competent and confidant level, or they don't get signed off in their personal MAIB training manuals until they do reach the level that the master seem confident with.
