Case in point:



Notice the highlighted Troop Transport group starts out of the Ise Bay and begins traveling in a generally southwest direction, but zig-zagging. Suppose the report comes in during one of the south-southwest jogs? and then just a few mile later, the group is going west-southwest? You'll never find it based on the report. Suppose you do get a report on it going southwest, and you're down by the Luzon Straits. You would assume it is coming toward you... but no:



It takes a little jog to the west and goes between the Ryukyus and Kyushu and heads for the Formosa Strait... You completely miss it...
