Thank you for helping to improve this site by reporting an error on the Aphrodite (P 432) page.
In the immediate post-war period, ships were fitted with basic gyro compasses (typically AP5005) plus a transmitting magnetic or gyro-magnetic compass (ATMC5/AGMC6) for emergencies. Vertical attitude reference data came from wholly separate stabilisers (Gyro Stabiliser Type 1-12). Radio navaids were limited to the early Decca sets (QM10) and MF DF (FM12), with widespread use of astro navigation (by hand-held sextant), plus a 1930's vintage ARL table.
Highly under appreciated large scale production. Superb photography, and effects involved in Submarine, Warship, Missile attacks; with well executed choreography for a covert mission to a Russian naval base, to rescue the Russian President, who has been captured by a Russian minister, with his military team, intending to orchestrate a nuclear war between the US and Russia.
Gerard Butler is always worth watching (Den of Thieves, Greenland, The Vanishing, to name three) and the supporting cast are convincing, rather than mainly "set furniture"; although Gary Oldman spends a lot of his screen time just shouting and running across the sets.
