Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Once again



The French Nom for "name", de for "of", and "plume" for the feathered quill that was sharpened to be used as a pen
in olden times when a pen was a feathered quill. A quill being the feathered plumage of a bird, hence the word "plume"
It is directly translated as "Name of pen" or sometimes as "Name of the pen". Today we call it a "pen name" and it is
most often used by writers wishing to publish under a name other than their birth names.
Nomdae Plume's choice of name is a rather obvious while humorous tongue in cheek adaptation of the original
spellling of a cloaking device for one who wishes, or has reasons to remain anonomous. In effect, a secret identity.
You're not a drug lord or terrorist seeking submarine knowledge under a secret identity are you Nomdae? Lol. Just kidding.
His real name folks is Clark Kent. ; )

George:

My first question regarding this is "how accurate do you need to be?"  I think there's going to be some error regarding the position of your sub verses the position of your float.  For example: drag is going to cause the cable to curve. (Think of the kite-flying anology)  Also, wind is going to move the bouy around... so it might actually be overhead, beside, or ever in front of your sub.

I'm personally planning on going with the GPS-on-surface/IGS-submerged route.  I'll be watching this thread to see what other folks post.

Take care,

NP
