Ever ride a bike in the rain, you get wet fast.



I approached the problem from the standpoint of 'search efficiency' (meaning the ratio of contact of a moving sub compared to a stationary one), as this seemed easier than figuring on complete coverage in a certain zone, or specific probabilities.


I thought about putting together a simple program that would track randomly generated ships through an area, and tally the number that were 'detected', but this seems like more trouble. If one wanted to know how well particular search patterns worked, with traffic on multiple axes, it might be necessary to do that kind of thing.
