I'm going to demote the sonar operator on my boat! I cannot get him to send me the proper information. I've been almost creamed a number to times by a Tin Can coming down my periscope. He's giving me info about a freighter a mile away. I've hit all the buttons to try to get him motivated, but not avail. Food for thought. Old Tex:arrgh!:

Honestly Tex its up to you the skipper to keep track of all those contacts, where they are, what there doing.... The sonarman, no matter how well trained, is not able to sort out the 'important' stuff from the mundane.

But there is that handy "Track nearest warship contact" button :up:

Yeah, in which case he will now glom onto a DD on the other side of the convoy and ignore the one 300 yards away, bearing down on your *ss like a bat out of hell.
