It's a test -- can we stay oriented while the runway's moving in
circles?

Why does that conjure up an image of a base turn that never reaches
final?

Been there; done that! When operating "zip lip" in the vicinity of
rainstorms,
the ship would often make unannounced turns.

Occasionally they'd do it during night EMCON ops, too, but that would
result in
a ILS localizer that just wouldn't stay in the middle...


Which ship in whose Navy had an ILS localizer on board? Did it tow marker
beacons, too?
