Push-Button Warfare: Computers Command British Carrier
The push-button warfare of the future is an established fact. The British carrier "Eagle", refurbished at a cost of One Hundred Million Dollars is carrying a complex computer system that spots the enemy, figures position, range and bearing within seconds. The computer even keeps tabs on the amount of fuel in each plane and when an aircraft is running low, it is automatically recalled.
