Nope only optics. The British had Type 282 during the war but it wasn't very effective. They were trying to develop Type 262 at war's end but it never was successful and was finally abandoned during the late 1950s..... I/m pretty sure the 40mm Bofors mounted on the Iowas were radar directed...
I looked up some numbers and battleship will need all those rounds and more. The number of rounds per aircraft shot down was in thousands for heavy flak but better for light flak-during good visibility. At night and poor visibility the ratio could be 10 fold greater.
I don't see the 40mm battery, which is the main difference here, no matter how impressive, being that much of game changer over a Prince of Wales or German heavy ship during 1941. (The Scharnhorst performance posted by Thorsten is rather impressive for 1940 though)
