                              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)  Sub-
  marines  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,  sub-
  marines  cannot see anything but land from a lookout.  While submarines can-
  not 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
