Default No visual Lookouts

"Donal"

It's not magic. You are placing your trust in "luck". When you kill
somebody, you will claim that he had "no business being there".

Again Donal you show that you have no clue.

Most sailors here were smart enough to figure out it was indeed a
submarine
I was talking about. They have lookouts, but not a type of lookout
that you are capable of understanding.

They change what they hear into a visual picture that they have no
problem understanding. The lookout get his visual information from a
display screen like a radar screen. His information is so good he can
tell you exactly what type of ship is a 100 plus miles away, and he
can tell its course and speed.


And the US submarine fleet has the safest record of any vessels at
sea. Imagine that, moving safley at 30 + knots and soley relying on a
display units. A skill far greater than any physic yachtmaster can
even comprehend. We have over 80 submarines underway as you read this,
Boomers and fast attack flying the seven seas at speeds that would
have you crapping your pants. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LUCK THAT THEY
DO NOT HIT THINGS DONAL, ITS SKILL TO USE THE PROPER TOOLS.

Donal you earn a -3 asa points and paint your neck the reddest and
your ass the pompest with your responce. Typical snobbish ******
unable to grasp a simple concept that visual is everything you see.

Donal I hope you are not the typical Yachtmaster wannabe. You blokes
live on an isle that is famous for it's fog, and I would think that
most yachtmasters would make learning to use radar to safely navigate
thru fog a priorty.

I bet you laugh at local boats using radars on crystal clear days dont
you?


I know if I lived in an area prone to fog I would always use radar on
clear days and learn every detail of the local waters that I plie by
radar. That way when thats the only way to navigate safely I would
have no fear or lack of local knowledge. Its also the best way to
learn how to tune a radar.

You say you have a radar, and you have proved you have no confidence
in your ability to use it.

Do you smash your fingers every time you use a hammer?
