At random: A submarine often navigates by sound when submerged. Sound can travel 3,000 nautical miles or more through water.

'Weather was extremely pleasant, allowing daily pointer-trainer-sight setter drills on the 4".' I kinda understand this. I think it's two men on the 4" gun, one of them is the pointer, who ?, and the other is the setter, who ? I think one lines up the horizontal setting on the gun, and the other lines up the vertical setting --- but which does what? Or, am I totally off base? Is there a 3rd man who actually shoots the gun?
