Yes, within line of sight, but I don’t think it is that close, considering it is a friendly ship. I will have to do some research on that topic, because I think that there was a test involving something like that, the “network centric warfare”.

Man, I would do unholy things just to get a chance to fly that Sea Fury and Spitfire Mk19. I didn’t even notice the other photos.....

Correct. You are actually the first one to mention it.

It could be discussed if I were an American......

But the targeting radar doesn’t have to be co-located with the launcher. It has to be close enough to feed the signal, but it doesn’t have to be that close. Think of the ships anchored or patrolling off the invasion beach.

That’s what I’m talking about! You have redeemed for making my night weird.

Missile can be fired from the land as well (for example), as long as it receives signal from it’s targeting radar, which doesn’t necessarily have to be on the same location. In the said scenario, LPD acts only as an additional missile silo, freeing up the missiles aboard AEGIS ship other occasions.

There you are, my whataboutist friend! I’ve been missing you guys.

No, it’s not the number of photos, I said spam away; it’s something about aircraft on those photos, they have something in common (all three together and the first and the last one) and that is the part of the reason why am I so obsessed with them.

YES!........wait! WTF!? Did you have those waiting somewhere or is it from your blog?

Yo, Jerry; since this is the end for Foxtrot Alpha, I feel like spamming this post with some random shit:

Hulk Hogan gave Tyler an offer he couldn’t refuse.

I don’t know, does Assad do annex?

Like a buck-toothed retarded rabbit.

So Putin decided to use the old pull-out game instead of playing it safe?

Even if it was free, it would be misappropriation of resources, as someone needs to operate and maintain it, not to mention that such a move would unnecessarily expose either an LPD or AEGIS platform.

In that case I agree, except that the Navy is not really obsolete, just massively unprepared for the conventional war.

Also, I’m not sure what do you mean with this:

Here is what google tells me:

Yeah, but who’s gonna pay for them? It’s a matter of balancing the cost vs capability; for the price of equipping and running an LPD with AEGIS you could have a couple of frigates.
