Moboards are so-called Maneuvering Boards which are used to manually
plot the relative motion of ships approaching each other. There is a nice
Power Point presentation used in Naval Officer training classes at
http://www.colorado.edu/NROTC/NAVR_Classes/3020_-_Nav_II/Rel.Motion-_Moboard_1
_.ppt

As with many very powerful and useful computer programs, even the need for or
the desirability of a particular program cannot even be imagined by someone
unfamiliar with the problem domain.

My own work is in an area of endeavor that I didn't even imagine existed,
until called upon to write software for it.
