Iowa's radars are only good for the on the horizon. They do not have any Over the Horizon radars. Now if the Iowa ships were escorted by the Aegis destroyers and data linked to the Aegis destroyers, well, Iowas can receive the targetting info and let loose her destructive power. IIRC, there are new technology today that allows shells to be fired further than 25 miles. Better refinement in propellment can allow the shells to be propelled up to 70 miles if I am correct.
