Narrative:

Outbound from diw ADF on ar-14, controller advised we were over 20 mi west of track. Our ADF showed we were still east of airway and correcting. He told us to intercept ar-1. We declared navaids unreliable and received vectors for the remainder of the overwater portion of flight. No conflict was noted by ATC or flight crew.
