Not obvious ones so much as internals. There's a lot more buttons and other obviously-electronic devices you see aboard boats in SHIII and IV than this one!

Well, I guess no TDC then.
Kind of like the "sugar boats" - did you find out how they aimed torpedoes? Were they steam, gyro angle or straight runners? What was the periscope like? Sorry for the questions, the Soviet Navy in WWII is one of the lesser known stories, even among those into the Eastern Front. I did find Admiral Kuznetsov's (head of the navy in WWII) memoir online which are instructive but still a lot to learn.
