Variables, shmariables.

A DDE going at full tilt (18kts) would be lucky to hear anything. Remember, we are talking about 60 years ago. The technology is not what it is now. Next time I am at the Legion on Remem. day, I will have to try to track down an old asdic operator and see what he says. I know that the U-Boat cats were certainly contacted and interviewed about development of the game, but I don't think that they talked to too many escort crewmen.

I'm done with this, just going to live with it.

It's just a GAME for pete's sake.
