Okey... What about early on my career when I do not have SJ yet? |
Get to your patrol area. What I do is draw a circle indicating the radius I shouldn't travel out as per the orders.
Then........look at the map and determine what the shipping lanes are. After that I set up a search pattern in that area.
How I set up a search pattern is I draw a bunch of 10 mile radius circles, that's about the max range of the hyrdrophones.
The circles are arranged such that they all bump up against one another but don't overlap.
They're usually arranged on axis with the shipping lane. I then plot a course connecting the centers of all the circles. Whenever I reach a center I dive and do a manual hydrophone sweep.
If I pick up a contact I then proceed to intercept. I usually dash at flank for about 7 miles and then dip and listen again.
By now you should be able to plot an intercept.
Here's a picture:
