Hurry shipmates - the black hats have hacked our fire control system

Aren't the fire control systems of Belfast completely mechanical?

In which case, anyone hacking them over the internet (or defending against such an attack) is a genius.

I understand that Scratchwood was chosen as the target to demonstrate the guns' range; of all the targets that are very close to the guns' maximum range, it was deemed the one most deserving of a few 6" shells. So the guns can't reach slough and targets in central London aren't impressive enough.
