The video uses the G3's three direct-control positions and turret-mounted 41-foot coincidence rangefinders to show why an effective combat system needs redundancy as well as raw calibre. Any control tower could direct the main battery, while the turret instruments preserved a measure of fighting ability if the centralized positions were lost. A coincidence rangefinder might offer a quicker engagement solution even where another arrangement promised greater long-range accuracy. That tradeoff favored rapid acquisition and correction because no ship could outrun a shell once the enemy had ranged successfully. Fire-control resilience and speed were therefore part of survivability.

Fire-control redundancy and the speed of engagement
Rangefinders and multiple control positions matter because a ship that finds and corrects the range first gains more from its guns than one that is merely faster.
