Thanks for the answers, but I am still confused about magic points.
It seems that the captain didn't want to surface to get an exact reading of where the sub was located - I assume by GPS.
So did he go to a magic point underwater to get a bearing, or is the magic point just a point on a map that would ensure the missile had range to reach the target. I did notice that he did a scan of the ocean floor. Could you correlate that to a bearing.
