Development of Other Simulators

With the success of the TAT at Crail, more were ordered by the Fleet Air Arm and the Royal Air Force. Other branches of the Navy were keen to use similar techniques for the training of torpedo attacks. The main development was that for a combined destroyer/Motor Torpedo Boat (MTB) trainer. This had very similar projection technology to the aircraft version, and the instructor’s units were supplied by Link as before. However instead of the aircraft, a mock-up of the destroyer’s bridge structure was constructed. This was still equipped to turn, pitch and roll, and the motion was realistic enough to induce seasickness in some of the trainees (Fig. 9.2). To maximise the usefulness of these trainers, the MTB controls were mounted back to back with that of the destroyer, so a change from one vessel to the other merely involved the bridges to be rotated through 180°.
