Reports of real-life sub operations indicate regular baffle clearance procedures.
The inference is that this refers to rear baffles.
In DW MP running mostly with TA out you have no rear (TA) baffles. You are concerned with forward baffles
but the arc from 30 deg to 330 deg is covered.
We are concerned to track often faint NB traces and are TA dependent for range.
I mantain that we should have an area around 180 deg where TA sonar performance is diminished.
Whether this amounts to a baffle or just reduced range ability is not clear.
I suspect that this is a 'sensitive' topic so I wont press home my point.
