I remember sitting on the 02 level of USS Dewey (DDG 45) and chatting
with a fire control type who informed me that the missile fire control
radars (SPF 55s, if I remember back that far) were officially classed as
weapons.  I've no idea if that's actually true, but it is interesting (not
to mention disturbing!) to note that perhaps we really do have death
rays...
