                              Command : LOOKOUT

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: lookout <SHIP/FLEET>

The lookout command allows ships to report sightings of other ships  and  land
sectors.

The various ranges over which lookout is effective break down into two groups:

SHIP to SHIP

  This range is dependent on both the visibility of the  ship  being  observed
  and  the  visual  range of the observing ship.  (see info ship-types) Subma-
  rines are a special case - they cannot be seen by simply looking out from  a
  ship!  In order to detect subs, you need to use sonar.  Likewise, submarines
  cannot see anything but land from a lookout.   While  submarines  cannot  be
  seen  by  a  lookout,  they  cannot see other ships by a lookout.  (see info
  sonar)

                              Command : LOOKOUT

SHIP to SHIP

This range is effectively 1.0.
  For example:
     [##:##] Command: lookout 24

       Groonland (#1) patrol boat #10 @-13,7
       Curmudgeon (#4) heavy cruiser #36 @-14,6
       Groonland (#1) oil derrick #41 @-14,6
       Groonland (#1) tender #53 @-14,6
       Groonland (#1) mine 100% eff with approx. 300 civilians @-12,6
       Groonland (#1) heavy manufacturing 23% eff with approx. 10 civilians @-11,7
