thank you Maraz. I am getting the hang of it. I am still tripping up on getting speed from the stopwatch which makes zero sense to me. I understand the scales (100 150 200 m etc), but I took a speed reading of a slow moving ship in the Torpedo academy mission and it gave me a reading of about 7 knots when the ship was clearly moving at 3-4 kts. or slower. It seems to me like another piece of data needs to be added into the process, like Range, or a time limit...otherwise the hand just stops randomly when the stern passes, but the reading does not seem to be accurate at all..I am sure I am missing something, but I cannot figure out what...I followed the instructions:
-scope in front of bow...start watch when bow touches vertical line. stop when stern passes through vertical line. find the scale for the ship length and see where the hand is pointing...thats it right? It seems like there needs to be another piece of data to make the reading less random...??
