ASW Detection Indicators

Nerazzurri · 12-17-17, 11:40 AM

Elementary questions regarding the dotted segments/circles around an ASW ship on the navmap, I've been away toooo long.

1. I'm sure the largest circle is the ships maximum visual detection range in optimum conditions?

Less sure of these -

2. Next circle, with a portion missing astern is passive/hydrophones?

3. There's a small semi-circle on the bow - that's ASDIC?

Thanks folks

Should be correct, if I even remember it right.

I think it is was just wanting a bit of confirmation. Thanks.

about 1: sometimes you may see them having two full circles. the one will be for their visual sensor and the other for their radar sensor.

2 and 3 are correct

Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt and presuming my career will be long enough to encounter radar!

Seriously, thanks for the extra info Mak
