<HTML>Hi JD,
At 200\'? Who told you that story? In a test tank perhaps with the bottom painted white and no ripple on the the surface and the sun just right above and behind the observers shoulder. In real WW2 situations no way - 20\' to 80\' under good visual conditions and water clarity is more realistic. Obviously the Orion\'s capabilities are not exactly WW2 technology. Rgds, RB</HTML>
