Got to love ship drivers. Sat in the wait. If you maintain this DFC in about 5 miles you’ll be in a fog bank. Nothing. Ok you’re about to sail into a fogbank. Nothing. Shortly followed by ship sailing into the fog bank. Nothing but the top of the tacan mast left visible.....any chance you could reverse course and steam back the other way? Nope.
From flyco, divert ashore.
Fully appreciate the bigger surface/sub surface picture and that we were just a weapons system. Made it interesting sometimes. Especially with a jet with a fuel / no hover. And no fuel / can hover dichotomy.
