Strange things in the South Pole expedition in years 1946-1947, what is called as the "Operation Highjump", was the thing, what is called as the UFO-combat. The equipment for that expedition was quite interesting, and there were many battleships and aircraft carriers in that operation. Sometimes I have thought that maybe the pilots, who claimed to face UFOs actually faced the electric arc, what was created by battleships.
I know that this would feel very silly, but sometimes I have thought, that was the problems with the fire control systems of German battleship "Bismarck" caused that the hull of that ship was targeted the radio-signals, what were send from propellers of the attacking "Swordfish"-torpedo bombers. In this scenario, those radio transmissions would make the electric field, what was caused the problems with the calculation system, and that meant, that Anti-Aircraft flak was shooting very badly in the attack of those torpedo planes.
The electric fields could cause that the electric motors, what rotated the mechanic calculators were worked unstable, and that means the sharp use of that thing turned impossible. And the Swordfishes could hit the fatal damages to that battleship, what denied returning to the home in the critical moment. But again I must say that this is pure speculation. EMP pulses can cause problems like unstable working also for normal electric motors, and that means that those systems are not immune against EM weapons. Also, electric fields can cause the heat to the system, and the bars in that structure would become curved, what makes sharp working in the calculators impossible.
Converting normal cannon to micro- or radio wave weapon is not difficult, and that means the cannon can be used with the normal ammunition. The system could be modular, that means that the radio- or microwave transmitter can put in the place of a grenade to the normal grenade, and if the user of that weapon would want to use conventional grenades, must that piece just removed, and the normal ammunition put in that place.
The tube of the cannon must only cover with spool, and if the radio- or microwave would travel thru that tube, would it grow the strength of that ray and this kind of weapons can be very effective. This kind of radiological weapon can easily to install the Iowa-class battleships and the radio transmitter would be used that way, that every tube of the turret has different electric charge. The use of radio waves would allow putting those rays to jump from the ionosphere. And that means also normal troops or equipment could be destroyed by this kind of weapon.
