Thanks. This is very useful. Despite knowing hardly any Spanish, I was able to work my way through this with a little help from a dictionary and also found this site with Spanish nautical terms: http://bahiaredonda.com/dictionary/dictionary.php.

Given how important accurate bearing readings are to this calculation, who has tips for accomplishing this? I find that if a target is at between 20km and 30km, I must go to the hydorphone myself. And so far my skill level is not all that precise (maybe I need better headphones ).

As an aside, this forum has immensely increased my enjoyment of SH3. I am a novice still in my 1st career with the stock game.
