How do you use UUVs?

[Bellman]

We should always be happy to learn from expert bubblehead vets so here are some extracts from their postings
which I hope expand on the UUV posts above:-

Positives:-

1.Fish:
You can use it to look over a reef or around a seamount.
And it's very accurate when you use it in active mode when it gets hot.
Launched below 520 feet, and with depth setting below 520 the UUV will not generate TIW.

2.Molon Labe:
A UUV contact + spherical/cylindrical contact is a great way to find out exactly where an ASROC or Mk50
dropped so you can react quickly.

3.JoGary:
One trick i use when torps are near me is to launch another UUV and have 2 in the water. This way you can
get exact positions of the torps as they move and dont need to wait for TMA updates.

Negatives-

1.Molon Labe:
The main downside of the UUV is that it will often reveal your location.
The UUV can only go 2.5 miles, so when you find one you know the launching sub is close.
The other downside of the UUV actually relates to aTMA. If you are using aTMA, and there are a lot
of contacts out there, firing a UUV is the last thing you should do.

2.TLAM:
But the UUV can be the worst thing in your inventory if you don't know when to leave them on the pier.
On the Kilo 95% of the time I don't carry them since...
A) They take up very scarce torpedo space.
B) They take up your even scarcer wire guide capable tubes.
C) They are quite useless in ASuW, which is what the Kilo is meant for.
