Click on 'Ship' at the top of the Notepad.

As for plotting solutions I would never trust him at that...and besides it is so easy to do with a little practice you don't really need him.

As for not trusting him, his solutions are always perfect, down to the meter. As for practice, did you miss the part where I said

if I wasn't so lazy

The only disadvantage i've ever seen in auto targeting is you can't make low visibility shots. Say for example, you have figured out a targets base course, speed, and rough distance to your sub by sonar, and you've positioned yourself within 1000 meters of that contact, and the fog is heavy.

With autoTDC, you can't shoot what you can't see. You must see the target to get a lock on it. With manual, you could take the shot.

Funny thing about hydrophone shooting. When the United States entered the war it was standard doctrine to shoot blind using only sonar. The practice was dropped when they began to realize that it never worked, not even once.

To do it in the game is totally unhistorcal.
