I'm sure this is an official technique with a real name in the US Navy. I don't want to make up a name to make it look like I or anyone else around here came up with some brand new idea our Navy hadn't thought of. Giving credit where it is due is important.

Local credit IS due to gutted for his Hydrophone Tracker because it is an original piece of work. And it is due for jerm138's instructions because they are his own construction and wording.

As an editor or popularizer, the worst possible sin is to remove authorship from the work. You can do that even leaving the original author's name on it by changing it so much that the soul of the writing no longer belongs to him. Remove the name or remove the work itself, either way you have powerfully demotivated the people who are responsible for the real success. Should be a capital offense!
