Kilroy's Turret Training Indicator was a system to indicate by use of small scale models, the training and elevation of turrets and guns. They are said to have been deployed in A and B turrets, at least, of some vessels.[1]

It was one of several contributions of Willie Dickson Kilroy, an inventor and officer in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve.
