Fun story, I was at 3rd Fleet during RimPac ‘98 and they were doing a CIWS live fire w/a Japanese destroyer and an A-6(from the Indy/CV-62) was towing the target drone. The ship didn’t wait for the A-6 to pass overhead until flipping the CIWS into full automatic. The results were highly predictable, and unpleasant for…

I can’t believe that ship is still floating.
