Rear Admiral Bradley Allen Fiske (13 June, 1854 – 6 April, 1942) was an innovator in gunnery, and served in the United States Navy as America's closest analog to Britain's Percy Scott. Amongst his many other contributions, he was best known for arguably inventing the optical Range Finder, his inaugurating use of telescopic gunsights, and for advocating the use of aerial torpedo bombers.
