#1 Wiki sez the range of an 802 is 120km.

Helps if you either have radar or eyes and a radio in the vicinity.

#9 "Washington, this is the USS Mason. We have a missile inbound, 20000 yards at Mach 2. Do we have permission to open fire"
"USS Mason, this is Washington. Do you know who fired the missile?"
"Washington, what difference does it make at this point?"
"Mason, it depends if it was fired by an enemy group"
"Washington, WTF?????"
BOOOOM!!!
