But even if it is by current, I'd think if your sub and next fish are in the same current your relative movement should still be 0kts and so you should set the target's speed as 0kts in the TDC.

Actually you have kidnapped a german scientist and he has developed jet propulsion to your sub.

How did you bribe him? with sauerkraust und wiener-schnitzels? :rotfl:

This is no german insulting meaned, just got under some "Top Secret" -movie feel...:hmm:

But seriously folks...

What kind of ship is it. If it is on the large side it could drift for miles before the drag of the water stops it.

Sort of like stopping a large, fully loaded tanker. That can take up to 10 miles.
