I think I may have posted this somewhere else!!!!!!!
I tend to agree with TDW on this. I think having a single command for the navigator to plot a course to Patrol Are or to Plot A course Home would be a great wee tool to have. It doesn't stop you doing all the usual stuff (hydrophone checks or running search patterns) enroute or in the Patrol Area and, I'm sure, once fuel was low or torpedoes were exhausted, the conversation was something along the lines of, "OK, plot me a course for home"
Is it absolutely necessary? Possibly not, but I think it might be a neat wee thing to have in the toolbox
