KEEP them suckers OFF!

I play harpoon but I also work for Naval Defense contractor.  My advise
is to stay with passive sonar and no ship radar. at all times I even
turn my AEGIS off (if I am given onef.   IThis is a trade off.  You 
won't be seen as easily but you can't see as well yourself.  This 
is where the AWACS comes in. The AWACS is the only thing I turn on 
(if I am given one).  IMHO.

BTW all of the naval systems I work on are simulated very well 
in Harpoon.
