Thanks for the stories btw. Good stuff. Sorry for the randomness of the questions, they just come to me out the blue after I read something/see something and I don't know any RL sailors/submariners to ask.

Here's something I've always wondered about. On the Sturgeon class and LA class boats, how did the commanders keep track of all the contacts/ranges and actual tatical geometry that was happening around them. I found myself in DW mostly needing the NavMap to keep everything straightened otherwise the contacts all get confusing... do RL commanders on the LA/Sturgeons use a NavMap type of aid to keep things straightened out or was everything just kept in their head?
