Very interesting analysis, but I was mainly concerned about missiles, 
which have a max terminal range of 3x18" == 54". The long range means 
firing arcs are largely irrelevant and at least on my table, you can
come 
in on one edge, fire against targets on the other and get the hell outta

Dodge before anyone can do anything about it.

Which seems a lot like modern sub-to-sub battle...
