    A hunch, or intuition, if you wish, is always recognized as command prerogative. The militaries of most countries recognize that hunches usually tend to play out and get results. The reason this happens is the subconscious hears and sees everything. Even things that we don't realize consciously. When he was looking at that map, something in his subconscious said, go this way. It had taken in all of the information, even some information that he didn't consciously realize was important and correlated it and the answer was to go in this direction which didn't make sense since some of the information (things he had missed or dismissed) was not being plugged into the equation.

      Well said 👍👍👍.
      If you're familiar with the Myers-Briggs Personality Tests / types, you'll see that 'intuition' is a HUGE part of the INFJ & INFP personality types. I myself, am an INFJ-t type. I thought your explanation was right on target. This is EXACTLY how intuitives, like myself, function. 😉

    The mysterious 2 torpedos were never full explained...the movie "Run Silent, Run Deep" was also unable to determine where the enemy sub was or even if it was a sub...the Gato probably inspired Captain Beach who wrote the movie's script. The radar detected a japanese sub 6500 yards away....seems like the Navy knew something... perhaps midget japanese subs.

    If a downed airman it 56 miles south east of the sub you do not set a course of 200. It should be closer to 135 degrees
