Search Plan 2

This is a quote from a destroyer tactics site:

[www.battlebelow.com]

" Search Plan 2 is basically a lost contact search used by two ships against a slow speed contact. This pattern employs a left and right plan oriented to an axis that passes through the last known contact position. One ship is designated as the "directing ship" and is responsible for for coordinating and executing the search.

The utilization of the "Left" or "Right" plan depends on the location of the directing ship. If a right plan is used, the directing ship is to the right of a predetermined axis and all turns are made to the right. A left plan finds the directing ship to the left of the axis and all turns would then be to the left. The two ships heading in opposite directions pass close by the last know point of contact and conducts a general search pattern that would cover the possible location of the sub.
"

Does anyone know more about this tactic? The description is a little bit confusing, and more details would be interesting.
