Just saw this on the news last night, a group of Raptors escorted by tankers
had all their systems dump as they hit the international dateline and they 
had to
return to Hawaii. Everything including navigation was lost and it was said 
that
if they were in bad weather they might not have made it back.

Searched for an online story related to this and found:
