I would assume that only the bridge/watch crew or potential gun crew (i.e., folks likely to need to go up on deck at night) would want or need to wear such goggles - I wouldn't think that the radar operators would typically be used for such on-deck activities - I would think they'd stay down in the boat glued to their screen so the goggles probably wouldn't be the issue. I think the bigger issue would be if/when they switched over the in-boat lighting to red - if the radar sets were in the same part of the boat that would seem to make red lines an odd choice. |
In my mind it seemed plausable that the bearing ring could be seen since it's self illuminating, not a red mark along the edge. It lead to a "realistic" response from me. Sure, realistic but for which equipment and in what era. I jumped to a conclusion base on my experience, which doesn't include an enviroment under an overhead redlight. Very good observations. It's a mystery to me with only black and white photo's as a guide.
I'm just glad LukeFF was able to salvage the peices
