Noob question

[Col Frost]

Sorry if this seems obvious; when using the hydrophone, are the readings relative to the compass or the current position of the u-boat?:-?

Thanks in advance

Of course, as the u boats screws give a reading at 180 when the engines are running, then the readings are relative to the u-boat and not the compass...:roll:

Yes...and also note that the scale does not move when you change course :know: Never be afraid to ask a question here, no matter if you think it could be obvious...:up:

Sorry I don't quite understand. What do you mean by the scale? Please explain?:huh:

He probaly meant azimuth or compass card..

Regardless what your ship's heading, its bow will always be 000 or 360. Starboard , always 090, the stern 180 and port 270.
