Hello

I haven't done this myself but I have used the marker in similar cases. OK first of all you use the marker and you mark (a little x) on the target (the ship you're about to send to the bottom of the sea that is). To do this use the maximum zoom so that you can see where to mark. After you mark you start the clock. You wait for 3min 15sec and then you mark again. Depending on how quick you are on the marking and how precise you are with the clock your speed results should be OK. Don't forget this is an approximation and as all approximations it is bound to have some error associated with it. So don't expect to be 100% accurate. Try it a couple of times and you will get used to it.

Hope it helps

Good Luck and Good Shooting
