Of course, as much as the O'Kane method (as described) is down on estimating AoB I seem to recall old Dick himself actually had a lazy susan set up with a ship model and constantly practiced making quick and accurate AoB estimates by sight.

I remember seeing film footage of O'Kane's XO practicing to identify the AOB with a lazy suzan and binoculars (at least I thought it was his XO making the observations). The ship was in the center of the wheel and they had bearing lines all along the perimter. O'Kane would turn the wheel and could see the bearing reading, but his XO could not.
