Shooting in the Rain

No periscope observations(can't see anything in the rain at night anyway)just used the map,the hydrophone bearings and the marker,marked the 1st point then marked the 2nd point 3 minutes later,used the ruler to measure the distance,and used the nomograph to calculate the speed(minutes+distance=speed).Then i manually inputed the speed on the TDC,set the AOB to 90 degrees,adjusted the bearing to get the gyroangle to 0 dedrees(depending on the speed for the torps.I recomend slow setting)waited for hydrophone line to land on the suggested bearing and fired.No periscope needed.And a good challenge.
