No AAR to spoil anything but just some general feedback on my mistakes which might help other
players of this scenario. A postmortem (sic) showed although I thought I had been taken out with a short range 'shotgun' I had missed a silent passive she sent earlier at 9.6 nm, while undertaking a quick burst of short term gametime acceleration. With a vast area to search, in this my first run, I calculated that maintaining speed at 5 knots I could undertake alternate periods of normal and accelerated gametime. So five minutes accelerated = .25 nm appx. Then scour NB for 5 mins. then accel. etc so on.(Safe eh !)....................... Wrong - missed that passive, missed the ghost tonal !! On rerunning from a nearby 'save point' - At 9.6 nm the single tonal was ghostly and intermittent. The result of some very tricky SSP conditions. So for my next run in the Kara Sea :- Lesson 1. - Dont even think of partial gametime acceleration !! Lesson 2. - Live in NB and constantly scan. No shortcuts - constant vigilence is the price of success. Now over the timeframe thats quite a tall order, so I propose watches of 2 hours to maintain peak (?) alertness. Coffee only !!

I've also noticed that operator attention can be a big factor in what your detection range is. In spite of the shallow water and marginal ice, I was able to get a faint PNB tonal at ~23 nm. I'm not sure how realistic that is. Something I'll have to look into I guess. I wonder if I used a more lossy bottom... huuuum... If you were clever, you could almost put together a whole solution using just the occaisional sniff of a PNB tonal in the tens of Hz range. |

Well ''what a difference a day makes !''
Second time around mounted in my SW I hit a surface duct and am working the TMA after two tonals on a target starting at 37 nm and solidifying at 33 nm. With every chance she will ghost-out and her partner lurking this is going to get a little interesting. ''Gone fishing........'' I owe that sucker !!

SQ - rather than continue to post what in effect could be seen as a quasi- AAR, I have poted a follow up
in DW 'classification' about some extra powerful NB reception.
