my, you are a clever lot. I am torn between tugging on Doenitz's sleeve and slugging it out with the 'little beaut'... I think, for a while I will stick with the IIA, simply because, in real-life I know darn well I wouldn't be doing more than scrubbing the decks, I know so little - and the learning curve is a challenge I want to rise to.
I didn't know, until yesterday that I could work the sonar myself, or that there was a shipping lane chart. I had known about asking the navigator to plot the max distance etc, but had not seen the significance of it in respect of fuel conservation. Each time I come on here you teach me a little more.
