Hi all,

I'm trying to make it all the way through Roscoe's, U.S. Submarine Operations in WWII, it's been an on-and off endeavor since SH-1 was release.

Anyways, p. 54 notes that frequently US subs would make a single sonar ping to check range near firing time. Has anyone read about this elsewhere?

It's not something I ever recall seeing modelled in a WWII sim and would certainly be a welcomed tool with manual TDC'ing.

Thanks!
