Hydrophone - Three Questions

capt_frank · 08-31-05, 06:16 AM

i've got three relatively easy questions:

1. say i'm at 50m submerged, dead stop with a heading of 180 degrees. over the din that's emminating from klaus in the WC, the hydrophone operator picks up a contact bearing 122 degrees. am i supposed to set my course to 122 degrees to intercept, or do i ADD 122 degrees to my current heading to intercept?

2. when does the notepad give any information, when i'm close enough to spit?

3. i see that one of the hydrophone commands is to follow the nearest contact...but my operator always tells me there isn't one.

thanks!
