The Naval Academy absolutely does train thousands of naval officers in this kind of math and programming. For the most part, they will apply those skills to more difficult problems, but if those tables had to be recreated, you would have no difficulty finding an Academy officer who could do it.
The Academy doesn't train the "sailors", though, just an elite corps of officers, and you don't need to have everyone on board making his own book, just have a few specially trained people (on land, presumably) who could if they needed to. They Academy makes sure many such people exist.
