Yeah, one of the first things I looked up was my current boat and read the reports. I had no idea just how big of a problem that visibility was . It's apparent that most of the sightings they got they either couldn't close to attack because of the heading of the enemy or visibility was such that they would frequently lose the contact just because the sea was choppy. I always have renewed admiration for these men especially when I read this stuff, it's just incredible. I also learn something new for every patrol log I read, (I've only gotten' to read a few so far) and some of these are more exciting than any movie!!
Rock on
