Davidorado!

finally on the surface after a 12 year 'silent run'! Do what fellow Minnysodian, John Pancoast, said: 1: get 500-1000 yards perpendicular to the target's course; 2: set the scope or conning-tower binocs on zero; 3: set the TDC 1⁰‐2⁰s in direction target is 'crossing' your scope, and 4: as the vessel's bow crosses your zeroed scope crosshairs, 5: launch one, then a second eel in rapid succession. The quote from Iron Hearts, Steel Boats

(or some-such tedious book I actually read decades ago) holds true here: "TDC! what TDC? just aim the damn boat!"...gut hunting Kaleun! Remember von Clausewitz On War "In war eveything is simple; but sometimes the simple thing is difficult."...ie: occasionally U will miss!

Do what fellow Minnysodian, John Pancoast, said: 1: get 500-1000 yards *perpendicular* to the target's course; 2: set the scope or conning-tower binocs on zero; 3: set the TDC 1⁰‐2⁰s in direction target is 'crossing' your scope, and 4: as the vessel's bow crosses your zeroed scope crosshairs, 5: launch one, then a second eel in rapid succession.
