Sure, they WORK, but they aren't really ready for proper use and take up a rather large space even if they can run calculations faster than the fastest supercomputer in existence. And even THEN, they need a normal proper computer for an output and input. It's a weird bit of tech that's been kicking around in my basement, but I doubt it could handle the data needed without some sluggish input from everything... Hence, you probably have a superior solution to that problem. But has Santoak perhaps tried sea-based radar stations? Basically giant floating platforms rigged with a giant radar station on it, it floats around in the ocean under it's own power and can even stay stationary for months at a time, just to monitor an area and check for anything... Big."
It could also be rigged to carry sonar instead, or both, though VonRudol leaves that detail out as it was rather self-evident.
"Quantum computers like you say are... dubious. One cannot afford to be dubious when shooting down enemy aircraft or possibly nuclear weapons hurtling toward your cities." she said, "Our navy and her ships should be more flexible than floating radar stations, even if they're not as powerful."
