Exactly. That's why I said point blank range Kirov is dead meat against Iowa. TPHuang's point is that Kirov does have within horizon range weapons in SAMs used for anti-surface role. Those missiles need to have a targeting lock to fire. In 1v1 duel (for the sake of this thread) that means Kirov is within the horizon of the Iowa to be able to use these weapons. That means Iowa is free to let loose the 16" guns. Dead Kirov.
