Gyrocompass high latitude calculator
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Gyrocompass high latitude calculator on the Gato-class USS Cavalla (SS-244) submarine. The retired submarine is a museum at Seawolf Park in Galveston, Texas, USA.
A gyrocompass is used for navigation but becomes less accurate with movement at higher latitudes. This unit calculates the correction factor to compensate for the error. |
