No, Harriers actually fall out of the sky all the time and they basically fixed the Osprey's crashing problems. The difference is there's one person in a Harrier and they can eject. An Osprey is chocked full of delicious marines to charbroil.

Delicious marines? What are you, a gay guy at fleet week?

It was a Schmidt & Bender MILITARY MKII 5-25×56 scope, which at maximum magnification (25x) would look like this:



He also would have had a spotter (with an even more powerful optic) working with him to dial in his shots, gradually adjusting each time until he could make the kill shots.

Would the targets not here the report at all or would they just hear it and not be able to tell where it is coming from?

Did the Iowas in the 80s still use the mechanical fire computers they were built with? Surely not.

I vaguely remember this from the mil history thread but I'm pretty sure they still did. I think the reasoning was that the real advantage of converting to digital wouldn't be the accuracy but that it would be more easily integrated into the ships other systems or some such poo poo and that the costs involved wouldn't be worth it.

Google suggests yes, they did at least one upgrade. In particular, the AA guns couldn't handle the speed of modern jets.

Oh, I thought you meant the 16 inchers. As for CWIS poo poo I'm surprised they didn't just upgun it with bunches of phalanxes, oerlikons, sea sparrows, etc.

I remember hearing some absurd statistic like 70%+ of the world's population lives within reach of US Navy guns.

The real stat there is that most of the world's population is concentrated to within a couple dozen miles of the ocean, but it's scarier to say it the first way.

Was it just guns? And are we including the range of aircraft? What about rivers? Want to drive up the rhine and shell the uppity swiss in their mountain fortress or go to amazonas and teach the people of manaus not to gently caress with the greatest navy a runaway military budget can buy.

It gets even more complicated if we include sub-based nukes.

True. Honestly, I personally didn't because I don't know if any place on land could even go untouched.
