re: #576 Marvo76

the fire control for a Battleship was totally gear driven, but they could drop shells from the ship over 18 miles inland within a thousand feet of the target…It worked good, but just like the armor plate of that era, i doubt we have the technology today to recreate it…

Once saw a visual of the shot fall from an Iowa class overlaid on the outline of the Pentagon. Every round was inside, or mostly inside, the outer ring.
