  1. Well the pants as floatation device is one taught in Boy Scouts. As far as the naval uniforms having bell bottoms it's so you can remove pants with shoes on

  2. If you want a simpler easy way for someone who is not an engineer at maths was to see the potential look at the 16/45 with the mk 8 super heavy vs the 16/45 with the mk 5 standard and figure that the velocity difference between the 2 is similar even though higher for the 16/50 Now look at the 16/50 on the chart and instead of the actual range in question look for the range with the appropriate amount of extra velocity (a few thousand yards closer) and it's going to be close to accurate.

  3. Well with "average" distance I suppose that is going to vary greatly based on whether you are talking fist shots fired, first shot hit, the hit that mission kills the loser, or the ship finally sinks because those are potentially wildly different for any battleship on battleship engagement
