Hi
Yes translation is correct but I don't think wee need a rise/descent
indicator aboard a ship, a ship is expected to follow roughly surface of the
sea even if the sea happens to be rough by itself.
I rather think of an old (bubble?) artificial horizon for a plane or a
submarine.
More likely for a plane because it has a spring mount, I think, to damp
engine vibrations.

What does the winner get? :-p
