I've heard that all the modern battleship's wepons can be controlled from one computer.

I don't know if that's true, but if it was, they must have this button somewhere.

>Modern battleships

Sorry to break it to you man, but nobody uses battleships anymore.
Last US battleship was decommissioned in 1990

Unless you're stationed in a museum I doubt that.

As far as I know "ibj" is a destroyer not battleship and USS Missouri was decommissioned just after the gulf, so the last battleship was decommissioned in 1992 not 1990 (my bad)

uss missouri remained till 95, but official retirement was 92. naval ship registry still classifies destroyers alongside battleships. and all retired battleships are still listed for ready active duty in a needed situation with the exception of the USS Texas. Shee's a mall now. so in this case one must concede that we may both be right.

couldn't you just agree that you were both on some sort of mass that screams liberty and chaos?

Each weapon is controlled by individual crew locally on the ship. There are computers but they only calculate the proper trajectory, it still takes an operator at each gun station to pull the trigger.

That isn't true that sort of wireless technology isn't available to us because the power required to create a radio signal that would set off every single gun on all available battleships is absurd.

You might want to look up how wireless signaling works. There are multiple RF bands, with thousands upon thousands o signals, that can each work a separate device. Like in your own home. Your cell phone doesn't use your wi-fi for instance, and a wireless Xbox controller doesn't work with a PS3, etc. Not criticizing or attacking you, it is just A LOT more complicated then one single radio single world wide.
