captB, your missing the point entirely, and my point in this argument is not whether
the navy used bino's with reticules, if that was the issue here, then the tread has been hijacked
my argument is the method, and the scale of the method, if they did, they did, if they didnt, they didnt,
i could care less really, but any gun firing at range will need to be directed.
thats why in a call for fire, the call doesnt go to the guns first, it goes to the FDC first,

the fire direction center

and after the solution is figured at FDC, then FDC calls the guns with the information for the guns,

but before FDC figures the solution, it calls the guns and gives them a warning order
for a fire mission to have them alerted and standing by for the information coming.

unfortunately, alot of people on here say "i cant" or "it cant".
but innovative people always prove them wrong time and again.

take dick okane for example, to keep pace with his targets propellers,
he used a Metronome, now the "i cants" and the it cants" out there will start stomping around
holding thier breath until they turn blue, saying you cant use a Metronome to keep time with a propeller, it was made to keep time in music,
you cant and it cant be done.

yea.

or take okanes device he used in running simulated target exercises, where he used an electric razor against a mic hooked
up to the hydrophones to simulate target propellers.

i can hear it now, the "i cants" and the "it cants" will be hitting the roof,

YOU CANT USE AN ELECTRIC RAZOR TO SIMULATE A TARGETS PROPELLERS, IT WAS MADE FOR SHAVING,
AND ITS ONLY PURPOSE IS FOR SHAVING AND THATS IT.

yea.

but! people like okane prove the i cants and it cants wrong every time.

you dont say i cant or it cant to people of ingenuity, you could never say that to someone like patton
without getting a dressing down badly, and then you get the proof that says it can.

my whole point in this is innovation and adaptation, and thats all, as commander, i would use anything
and everything that would help me do my job better, destroy the enemy, and save my troops lives and my own life to, as best as a could
accomplish that, and nothing more.
