Plotting Table

A glass covered table housed in the Ship's operations room which was used by a Radar Plotter to plot radar contacts, and provide a tactical surface picture for use in fighting the ship. Finally phased out in the 1980s as they were replaced by Tactical Data Systems (TDS) (computer systems).
