[QUOTE="Riley, post: 2478310, member: 29196"] Not so, actually with that range and proper positioning I'd guess you could say, intercept an missile just off launch for instance. Once the ballistics of the gun are understood, the accuracy is a matter of determining the telemetry of the target, if moving. If stationary, Naval guns have always had a great reputation for superior accuracy. Mostly because their position and relative motion is quite precise. Therefore able to be properly compensated for in the ballistic calculation. The ability to add some sort of terminal guidance would only improve that accuracy. Yes, I spent more than an afternoon with a Clancy book.... PS - There are also some interesting stats about population density, coast lines, and ranges. Yep, 100 NM covers most of it pretty well.....
