    If we assume that the ship, while traveling, always moves towards its destination, but it might be off by up to 1 degree. Then the margin of error for its position would grow until about the midway point in the journey. I have no idea how to calculate this, unfortunately, but I’d image there’d be a lot of space you need to cover if you want to find the ship.

      Yes. That is a problem. Not least of all for the sleeper ship.

      I am going to assume any higher technology follow-up ship will only do best effort.

      So, then there is a good window for memes about “lost” sleeper ships.
