I finally made it to July 42 and been offered a new sub.

USS Tambor SS-198 has been assigned to me and before leaving dry-docks it's been fitted with a 5" Bow mounted gun, Twin 20mm AA gun and surface radar

.

Errrrrr...

uhmmmm, I have no idea how to use the radar, the PPI in relation with the A-scope is something totaly new to me

.

If undertood correctly, PPI give you targets bearing.

This below gives you range but what's what?
Could someone please explain this to me in very simple terms, thanks
