Can i post this here? If not pls indicate apropriate thread ...

How do you shoot a battleship moving at 30 mph from 15 miles away? The Imperial Japanese Navy relied on the greatest optical lenses ever built. The Yamato featured a gargantuan 15-meter wide stereoscopic rangefinder on top of its mast! Dozens of highly trained sailors looked through complex glass prisms to perfectly calculate the distance to an enemy ship. But if there was heavy fog, or it was nighttime, they were completely blind! The US Navy weaponized the electromagnetic spectrum. American battleships used Radar Fire Control! Microwave dishes bounced radio waves off enemy ships in the pitch black, feeding the exact distance and speed directly into an automated analog computer, allowing them to accurately blow up Japanese ships they couldn't even see!
Massive flawless glass prisms or high-tech microwave radar?

USN
A view of mothballed ships at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton during August 1992 shows a striking arrangement of decommissioned U.S. Navy vessels laid up in reserve. On the left sits the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CVS-12) accompanied by three minesweepers, while on the right the battleship USS New Jersey (BB-62) rests alongside two Knox-class frigates, all preserved in inactive status as part of the Navy’s reserve fleet following the end of the Cold War.

USSR
Soviet cruiser Frunze, one of the formidable ships of the Kirov-class battlecruiser, photographed in 1987 at an unknown location.
These enormous vessels were among the most powerful surface warships built by the Soviet Navy during the Cold War. Powered by nuclear reactors and heavily armed with long-range anti-ship missiles, air defence systems and anti-submarine weapons, they were designed to operate as flagships capable of challenging Western carrier groups.
Visible in the foreground are Kamov Ka-27 helicopters. These aircraft were commonly carried aboard Soviet cruisers and destroyers for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and reconnaissance duties.
