TMA on FFG (a total madness?)

I do believe the lines on the FFG TMA plot only extend 10nm out. Since visual range is 8-10nm, the only instance you would be doing TMA would be on a submerged contact. Even then, that's a bit close for comfort. Better to use the helo and sonobouys, or active sonar, to locate its exact position.

The biggest turn-off for me is the lack of a dot stack. Why couldn't they upgrade the FFG's technology?
