By the way Geo brilliant stuff if you have more then keep them coming!

The bearing? well,this is the direction in degrees the target is from YOU.If you were looking at a ship directly to the left of you its bearing would be at 270 degrees,or to the right it would be 90 degrees,if it was 45 degrees in front on your port side it would be at bearing 315.
And to obtain it simply unlock the TDC until the green light comes on,if the target is ANYWHERE on your port side set the dial to 90 deg port,and anywhere on your starboard side set to 90 deg starboard,then,lock the TDC until the light goes red,then point the scope to the target,lock it,and the TDC will update the bearing for you.The TDC was a rudimentary computer,its job was to make the commander's job easier,and so should you see it that way,trust your friend the TDC
Of course,if the attack data is wrong so will the torpedo release angle be wrong,you must be certain all your data is true before an attack.
