Immersive techniques for the true subsimmer!

I took a short hiatus from my new TWOS campaign, so I'm still at September 2nd, 1939 in Polish Waters.

Using Real Navigation, with my written KTB:

- I use supermarks to plot a patrol waypoint on the map.
- Each time I plot a new course to a waypoint, I calculate an ETA and set my alarm to the estimated clock time.
- My Navigator does regular Dead Reckoning readings, and I use them to correct both my course and my ETA.
- When the alarm rings, I slow down to ahead one-third and order my Navigator to make a Celestial Navigation reading.
- When the Navigator is done, I dive to 20-30 meters to initiate the hydrophone scan protocol.

I know their is an automated routine for patrol grids, but in the Polish waters I prefer to keep control. Feel free though to improve my routine, though.
