[GreenKeys] Was: TWX/TELEX now: Analog Computers

[Ralph Mowery]

Yes, they did .  I saw the one on the battle ship North Carolina that has been on display for many years.  

 

Amazing how they can hit another ship 10 or so miles away.  The main thing is how accurate the distance between the ships can be measured.  

 

The submarines had a version on them for the torpedoes.

I believe that mechanical computers were used aboard large ships in WW2 to control the aiming and firing of their guns.
