And then, when I did locate a ship on the sonar, it's sound suddenly disappeared and I could not locate it anywhere on the dial - now why are these strange disappearances happening I wonder?
When you get a sighting report: Take your ruler and draw a line representing the course of your possible target. Then, take the square ruler thingie and draw a course to somewhere where you think you will intercept the target. It will show the time enroute. Calculate how far the target will travel in that time period. Take your dividers and draw a circle of that distance. Adjust your course and voila, you will probably meet your target there.
