Target Bearing Transmitters, waterproof binoculars
« on: July 30, 2017, 11:16:24 AM »
Folks,

We did some research and have put together the basic information on the TBTs, and the waterproof binoculars used for both the TBTs and later 5" 25 cal wet mount guns.  These should make restorations much easier:
