Being curious about the inner workings of torpedo targeting, I stumbled on this interesting bit (http://mathscinotes.com/2011/03/trigonometry-wwii-torpedoes-and-a-museum-docent/) explaining the math problem.
Further down the page (in response to feedback) is this link with the basis for a working model (https://mathscinotes.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/shipsimulator2.pdf)of a TDC.
With a reference to an old Navy TDC manual (https://mathscinotes.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/tdc_reference_hnsa.pdf).
Hopefully this wasn't posted before!
