Redirect to Set and drift, where the concept is explained in more detail. This is something most every manual of naval navigation would talk about and is likely a notable topic on its own. But we already have an article on set and drift, so readers would be best served by a redirect to the better and better referenced article. Drift is also discussed in multiple places in Dead reckoning; that could be a good target, too, but Set and drift is more focused on the particular concept of drift and so may be a better target. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 03:57, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
