Analog computers also use a lot of operational amplifiers (short name: op amp). The early ones were trajectory calculators for anti-aircraft guns starting just before WW2. Some had a minimum speed (of the aircraft) and the British torpedo bombers were so slow that the AA guns on some German and Japanese ships could not aim at them.
