To answer my own question it appears that the RN uses Periscope Laser Ranging, see:-

By the 70s, the company was supplying the RN with periscopes with an electronic warfare and electronics supports measures antenna, infra-red scopes, and the first laser rangefinder on a scope.

So now I'm wondering why they didn't give a 'squirt' of laser ranging towards the ferry and establish the correct range :?
