When I toured the USS North Carolina battleship about 10 years ago, the tour materials said that they tried matching the mechanical range-finding and bearing setting computer used to aim the 16" guns against a modern digital computer. Guess which one won? (Don't know if it is true or not, but it was a nice story ... and a fascinating tour.)
Thanks for posting. Dose anybody know who built them?
