That's where I had all of my troubles with "high noon".
As for that statement of upper left, on the sonar screen, upper left is a box that shows digital direction of sonar. as you try to rotate in the high noon situation, the graphic stays at noon, while the panel in the upper left will show the proper heading.
Don't know about that last part, but.. can very well, reply in the negative as to being any where near Japan. If you mean a sort of a box that shows info on the direction of the sonar & base info of what the target is.. either unknown or warship or merchant.. those numbers in that, were going from up or down, depending on the direction I was moving the dial, or would have been.. had that part of it, not frozen up, pointing to dead noon. That, was operating, as it should there. The right box, which houses the indicator, showing what direction you are pointing the sonar unit in... was the only part that was NOT working, as it should.

That & the gauges in the control room, as shown in the picture.

Hopefully, I have NOT totally confused you, by now...

At the time of My patrol, was just a bit NE off of Saigon area, around the Cam Rahn bay area. Which is well away from Japan.
