Nice ! Very interesting !
What means "double" ????? : 250.) e) Run out and double at a good distance, and then make off on a straight course, in order to get well away from the pursuing enemy forces. Do not double frequently, or continually zigzag, because this results in loss of distance. 254.) d) Run out to a good distance, and double - no frequent zigzagging - and then make off on a straight course, in order to gain on the hunting vessels. 270.) After submerging during an attack, always go down at Once to depth A, and double. |

not sure. I would guess "DOUBLE" in this context it means to turnaround 180"?
old term slang? maybe some military/navy peeps might know? I forget how poor the early subs were in game! 5 torps and some duds! lol

In most militaries the term double means fast as possible!

I am only speaking from my experience in the military. Double quick, double march, double speed references in layman terms... move your ass!
I do know this. When you make an attack in the game, the destroyers make a straight path to your last location. So you want to get out of the area as soon as possible. I can see why "double" could mean 180degrees. You don't want to zig zag and double too much. Your objective is to get out of the possible detection area as soon as possible.

Cheers. Bookmarked. I might get something from this handbook, I'm a pretty useless submariner at the moment. Given time I might progress to pretty bad...
