Sorry, didn't mean to be obscure. Means "on speculation." The lead escort would ping continually, without any prior hydrophone contact. As I said, the idea was to cause any sub lying in ambush near the track to evade in one or the other dimension before the escort closed to sonar contact range. Presumably, the sub so flushed would be unable to get back to a favorable attack position before the convoy had moved past.
