Within a thousand yards or so...
My personal claim to fame was spotting a sea kayak at 12,000 yards from a 37ft flying bridge..
That one earned me special sea detail lookout. The CO happened to be on the bridge.
Maybe i'm mis-remembering the range thing. Maybe it's just the sonar yutz that reports short, medium, long...
