I Suppose this problem has been fixed, but twenty years ago, I was an aircrew-
man aboard a P3C flying out of Moffett and testing the new LLTV (Low Light
Television). This puppy could pick up man sized objects in the ocean flying
at 500 feet or so. One night, while making a pass at a Soviet trawler, a
Soviet crewman stepped out on deck, lit up a smoke...

All that technology wiped out by a match at a range of over a thousand yards.
