Sure we could figure it out and use it... For drones. Also, rain?

Pipe dream. The energy requirements for lasers is significant. In order to achieve a quick and reliable kill, you need multiple lasers hitting the target from different angle to avoid "blooming" (the laser beam heats the air changing the air's density and causing the laser beam to difuse). So...

Conceivably each missile could take out an anti-ship missile, so that's 21 engagements. I can't say on here how many rounds CIWS would use to engage a single threat, but I figure that based on how many CIWS rounds a CPF carries, the RAM can actually engage more threats, and you don't need to...

Doubtful. The exhaust ports on the back are meant to vent into open air. Not sure what the heat from that exhaust would do to the roof of the mission bay.

For the "actual" work RCDs will do 99% of the time, the mission bay is an unprecedented improvement in capability. USVs for mine clearance, portable recompression chamber for dive ops, extra bunks for an LE det, survey equipment, etc. But name me one thing they can put in there that will help...

Lol. It's funny because you could have used your post regardless of what my post said.

ALL THE SOFTKILL!🎉 🎉

I'm not sure what number you think "absurdly" high is, nor am I going to tell you what the actual salvo sizes are against various enemy warships (or what we know of our enemy's planned salvo sizes against us), but I think you might be surprised. Almost the entire US navy surface fleets lacks...

Which is why it drives me nuts every time the media says something like "ASBMs are un-interceptable!!". It needs to slow down to find its target.

Block Va (MST) Tomahawks don't have that kind of range. Closer to 500km, and anything you shoot at at that range will be hard to find and hit by the time you get there. Longer range on anti-ship missiles isn't all it's cracked out to be, unless you have the capability to update the location of...

Getting a remote launchable acoustic decoy system is something navies desperately need so this would be a good addition.

SO MUCH SOFTKILL!! 🎉🎉🎉

GIVE ME ALL THE NULKAS! (seriously, you can never have enough soft kill)

During the day in calm seas...

Perhaps it has come to the point (hopefully) where talking to "Iran" and talking to "the IRGC" are not the same thing.

Considering the number of stories going around of people with valid documentation to be in American being nonetheless apprehended and detained by ICE, I can see a bunch more people avoiding airports now for fear of being arbitrarily detained (or even just harassed) by ICE. If even they put out a...

The fact that you consider this sleep deprived rambling is very modest of you to the point nearing arrogance. Great post. Plus you got a South Park reference in there... fuck you... :)

Is the American approach complex? Seems like it's nothing more than "choke them until they pass out and/or roll over".

I can honestly say that having watched a bit of it, I like him more now than before.
