Again, not sure about ships but the F-101B had a 100K candlepower
spotlight installed just below the RO's cockpit, port side, for
closeup visual identification of potential intruders. Nowadays,
spotlights and/or NVG's are used for the same purpose.

100K?...I suppose it's ok for that purpose though, ASW aircraft
use MUCH more powerful searchlights for spotting and ID.
