Planes are crazy.

you have to consider this, when you are in waters that are no more than 40 meters deep and the sea floor is mostly coral... that big dark colored turd of a submarine sticks out as viewed from an airplane. just think of all the footage you see from choppers patrolling the beach and how easy those sharks are to see.

It doesnt matter if its 1000' or 40', the AC finds you too easily.

This isn't true, I've been less then 7nm off a Jap port in Japan and even with the top of my conning tower hanging in the breeze in broad daylight and they didn't even fly overhead, but the moment my watch crew came on deck a little while later they'd come....


Btw if you see a Zero, CRASH DIVE NOW YOU CRAZY GIT! Flank speed hard to port, Japaneese submarine acrobatics, anything cause those things can lay a bomb dam near perfectly; If your Radar doesn't catch an approaching one you mise well abandon ship now...
