I seriously doubt any Chinese computer hacker could gain computer access to this firing station, which I often speculate that should there ever be a war with the Chinese they will have gained computer access to many ships fire control systems.

Bring back the Iowa class battleship, keep it plain simple, they were the best ever built, technology can be a two edged sword. Sometimes you need brute force instead of precision.
