\"The Torpedo Control Calculator (TCC) was an electrically driven mechanical fire-control calculator for torpedoes, usually operated by a junior officer. Unlike similar machines in U.S. or German service, it did not provide a continuous solution and had to be re-set at each fresh periscope observation, making the wartime RN submarine captains some of the finest mental mathematicians in the world\".
