I am cross posting this from another thread.....
"As to guessing on the AOB, I like this, even if I ain't Dick O'Kane, who developed a really cool method to practice this, which consisted of a lazy susan, a reversered pair of binoculars, and a ship model........
a crewman would turn the lazy susan, which had the ship model on it, and the bow angles marked where o'kane couldn't see them. He would stand across the officers wardroom looking through the binocs and guess the angle.
He got to where he could figure the angle w/in a few degrees everytime..."
There is a really cool History Channel on Fleet Boats that shows O'Kane doing this.....
