		And the second thing that this does is it does correlate to the many witnesses who stated that the officer of the deck ordered 60 feet, which is the ships standard practice to proceed to periscope depth, and then the captain took the scope and he ordered a high school at 58 feet.
		Because again, when you first come to periscope depth, just like the officer of the deck is in a bistable mode of either MCD for no close contacts the ESM operator, is for a brief period of time is -- I do or I don't -- an equivalent to the officer of the deck.
