22 nm away? Sure, if it's at anchor. Sorry, I'm extremely skeptical about that. What would be the angle between the bow and the stern of a very large ship, from 22 msiles away? A common tactic on all sides was lying off an anchorage and plinking the sitting ducks. Can you cite some examples from a standard WW II history? vince norris
