The Royal Navy's Fleet Torpedo Committee, consisting of representatives of the Commander-in-Chief, as well as the battle and battlecruiser squadrons to determine new directions for torpedoes and torpedo control.

Captain Arthur Kipling Waistell of Benbow acted as President.[1]

Best Means of Setting Torpedo Directors

One of questions they were asked to settle was how to obtain data for setting the torpedo director, which by that time likely meant the Torpedo Deflection Sight.

Positions for Torpedo Control Officers

It was decided that the Conning Tower was to be the primary position, and the Torpedo Control Tower the secondary position.
