Which statement describes the firing over water range equation?

• A. Maximum range is 1,100 meters plus 100 meters for every foot of elevation
• B. Maximum range is 2,000 meters plus 50 meters per foot
• C. Maximum range is 900 meters plus 150 meters per foot
• D. Maximum range is 1,500 meters plus 200 meters per foot

Answer: (A)

Understanding firing over water range relies on a simple linear relationship between elevation above the water and how far the round can travel. The base range when you’re at water level is 1,100 meters, and for every additional foot of elevation, you gain 100 meters of range. This reflects how raising the launch angle increases horizontal distance over water while keeping the same weapon performance.

So the statement that maximum range equals 1,100 meters plus 100 meters for every foot of elevation correctly applies that linear rule. The other options propose different base values and increments per foot that don’t match the established over-water range data.
