Comments by "Helium Road" (@RCAvhstape) on "The Drydock - Episode 090" video.
Back in the 90s I knew some guys who built the drones used on the Iowas in the 80s/90s. The drone aircraft was called the Pioneer. A couple of the engineers from the manufacturer were aboard the battleships during the 1991 Gulf War and told me they were able to feed live video of the 16" shells impacting targets ashore to the ship's officers, allowing them to adjust fire visually and verify battle damage to targets. They also told me the ships' crews loved being able to actually see what they were shooting at in real time, something WWII technology didn't provide for.
