G'day List,
Thought I would send another, Just a small one, but I have never seen it
used by anyone but me.


Helo sonobouy patrols within the formation. This probably comes under
the
heading of "Personal taste" but here goes.


I will set Helo 1 to a zone about 1/2 mile wide and from the 28 mile
ring out to the 33 mile ring. This lays bouys along the PIM.
I will set Helo's 2 and 3, left and right of this one. Their zones are
set along the 32 mile range ring, and also 1/2 a mile wide. These zones
begin about 2-3 mile from H1's line and stretch 2-4 mile in a concentric
circle arc. This forms a "T" shape.
I will then set helo's 4 and 5 at 45 degrees left and right of the PIM,
and set a zone for these similar to Helo 1, a 5 mile long, 1/2 mile wide
stretching from 28 mile to 33 again. This will cause the helos to lay a
"Chevron" pattern. I will repeat this pattern all round the fleet.


LR ASW assets (Vikings, ..etc) out to cz2 If I have em, using similar
patterns.


This seems to give good coverage, But I will listen to anything better.
:)


God invented alcohol so that the Australians would not rule the world.
