Locked on? probably not. At that distance, getting locked on by aegis might result in broken electronics and funny looking kids

GREETINGS COMRADE

There are a great many reasons; to start with, pound for pound, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and their derivatives are the most heavily armed warships ever built. There are ships that carry more weapons per se, but they are much larger ships, like the Kirovs. Secondly, a ship also needs to be able to accommodate…

My brother and I totally loved it so he took us to Toys R Us so we could get toy planes to run around the house and dogfight with. I saw the F-18 first and grabbed it, my brother found the F-14. After an…
