Iranians try to provoke incident in strait
Several Iranian fast boats approached US warships in a threatening manner. The Sky News video (below fold) suggested they were within 200 meters at one point.
The max depression/elevation of CWIS is:
Block 0: -10 / +80 degrees
Block 1: -20 / +80 degrees
Block 1B: -25 / +85 degrees
If the ships had the oldest stuff, they were within only a few scant seconds of being unable to use CWIS effectively with a target at 200 meters and closing. I'm just saying...
