I think he Admiral Lee, in that one engagement, brought nearly the entire fleet onboard with respect to the advantages of radar-guided naval gunfire.

Pretty impressive.

Have you read “Neptune’s Inferno”?

Lee had MK8 radar well calibrated with the guns on his battleships, which could track and fire upon a fast moving target at 32,000+ yards - and straddle it on the first salvo. Just imagine what those battlewagons could do with the latest & greatest modern radar.

I did soon after it came out – it didn’t really tell me anything I didn’t already know – but, it is a well researched work for the uninitiated. Very good book, and I highly recommend it.
