Found this table for torpedo speed - who can explain it so me?

Anyone can explain me what this table is showing and what are the values for to get out of it?

It shows the lead angle for firing a torpedo, in this case set to 44 kts, at a gyro angle of zero to intercept a target moving at the speed indicated on the left and the anticipated AOB at impact, indicated above. I get target speed by taking the length of the vessel and dividing it by the time it takes it to cross the vertical line in the scope. I then multiply that by 1.95 and it gives me the target's speed in knots. I guesstimate the AOB and try to get as close as possible to the target's anticipated track to minimize errors. It works pretty well, especially since range isn't really a factor, unless the target is beyond the range of the torpedo.

Thanks! That helps :-)

you're welcome. Don't neglect to tap above the site I posted to open the entire thread which contains useful and comprehensive AOB and targeting information as well.:arrgh!:
