US fire control was overwhelmingly superior in 1943.

Exactly. The Japanese found out the hard way.

I think the USN BB main battery gun fire control system could accept both optical and radar targeting data at the same time. I do not think it was either one or the other. Which was awesome and deadly.

US fire control was overwhelmingly superior in 1943.Unfortunately it was not properly used at first particularly in the naval battles at Guadalcanal. It cost the US Navy dearly until Adm Lee on USS Washington showed how effectively it could be used by sinking the Kirishima in one of the few battleship vs battleship battles of the pacific in WWII.
