The Crace Enemy Torpedo Calculator was a Torpedo Control instrument conceived and tested alongside the similar Bunbury Enemy Torpedo Calculator in 1914-1916.[1]

History and Deployment

Six examples of both the Crace and Bunbury devices were manufactured for testing with flagships. The six Crace units were to be tried in H.M.S. Emperor of India (1913), H.M.S. Invincible (1907), H.M.S. St. Vincent (1908), H.M.A.S. Australia (1911), H.M.S. King George V (1911), and H.M.S. Princess Royal (1911). The device was described in the Handbook for Torpedo Control, 1915 and in a special pamphlet.[2]
