My country is a bit towards the south and nobody really knows how our ships still manage to float.
We have ships where the entire navigation suite has been replaced with a commercial GPS.
The guns are fired... Every now and then. Sparingly. We still have ammunition from the 70's in stock. Some times we even manage to misplace equipment.
Yet somehow we're considered as the reliable ally, although a bit... wierd.

Only issues are: - What do you do if some country has maliciously turned off or disabled the GPS satellites? - The commercial GPS unit probably isn't very EMP-resistant, so it might quickly be disabled if EMPs start going off all over the place ... as would happen in a nuclear war. But as long as you're not fighting anybody capable of turning the entire GPS system off and the war hasn't gone nuclear, it should probably be fine.
