Was just wondering...Does the sub have to make many very small course corrections to stay on the waypoint nav path? If so, does this impact fuel efficiency? Would it be better mileage to draw out some nav paths with the ruler and navigate freely using the compass and rudder? No big deal, was sort of daydreaming on a long haul and the thought hit me.
