Or four, to take one off-line for scheduled maintenance while three still 
provide redundancy. But this is a TL5 sailing ship, and I figured that it
is good enough to _know_ something is wrong. The critical thing would be 
to loose the accurate time - if a sextant or map set is "broken", that 
should be easy to tell. They'd have to use their nautical judgement on 
choosing the right clock, or cannibalize a lifeboat (pinnace) kit.
