Now this one I can answer. There were changes during the war, but for the most part, the TDC sent a signal for the gyro angle (and eventually other variables) to the torpedo while it was in the tube using a retractable spindle. This way the firing solution could be fed to the torpedo immediately prior to firing. |
Aha! Thanks.
