Targeting will be via satellite and final targeting visual, thats right visual. I find your post a little contradictory. You make some good points, but if you could target with satellites or aircraft (even drones), why wouldn't you fire from long distances, rather than make your platform more vulnerable by closing in?

They tell you the enemy is in an area the size of Delaware. Also, satellites can and will get shot down in a real war. My contention is that naval warfare will get primitive real quick. Nobody is going to radiate unless you want a ARM up your butt.
