Lower branch transits of moon?

    Why does the Nautical Almanac include data for lower branch moon transit?
    Perhaps the moon gets high enough in the sky so that we can observe its
    lower branch transit often enough to make it worthwhile to include in the
    NA? Then the navigator could use it like an upper transit, to estimate
    latitude?
