I like that i dont have a lazer rangefinder and gps speed gauge. Guessing and failing sometimes means we arent all bagging 120,000 tons a month :P That was always the major issue of SH4 and SH3. This new system allows for not totally accurate data to work with, which allows for some variety

if it was up to me there would be an option for the WO to estimate speed, but he would say "Speed is between 7 and 10 knots" and you need to guess in that range.
Excellent points. I would go further and suggest that the 1WO give a specific speed, but randomized withing that range, so you don't know if he's right or wrong.
