Why not use the sonarman?
if you request a range to target (locked on a ship in the peri or UZO) he will send out a ping and give you a range...but I think that only works out to 4000 yards or so. but I'm sure the same can be asked of the radarman. and since the fire directors of the main guns were radar controlled (later on anyways) it's not too far from realistic either.
