Matt Bracken(@Matt_Bracken48):Don't discount the Suez Canal, which is low-hanging fruit. A ship moving along a straight line at low speed is as easy to hit as a stationary point target. It's not a CVN turning sharply at 30 knots. Also: spotters on land can relay the target ship's name, nationality, exact location, and exact speed, second by second, for precise targeting.
