The modern technical term for this procedure is to "clear datum."

You youngsters and your "modern" terms:rotfl:

Gee, and I always thought the correct technical term was "Run away! Run away!"

Just finished an attack on a heavily escorted convoy, at least 4 escorts. Hit 2 large freighters and a large tanker (approx 35K tonnes). Wiggled waggled, the escorts, though numerous combed the area but never found me. :smug:
