Just think how much more effective a rifle would be in that situation.

Or you can stay on deck and deliver gunfire, because the Pirates can’t go below deck to avoid it.

Man portable guided missile?

.....All ships since the phonecians are steered by rudders at the aft end of the ship....

Exactly right. Maneuvering to shadow is one thing, getting a boarding ladder up and getting on the ladder is an entirely different matter.

But the Navy is better at it, because they can’t fit everything they ever owned on a carrier. As good as the A7, A6 and Tomcat were, the force is more flexible and lethal with the multi role super hornet, a lesson the air force should study closely.

Piss their dresses you mean

I was there in the Gulf War and see the whole thing. And yes, they did get shot to shit and keep flying, except you are missing the point that they are not supposed to get shot to shit.

I get it, everyone loves the Hog.

That gets a star!

You could duct tape a mirror over the camera. Then it sees itself, gets all F’d up and starts turning in circles real fast.

This is still way cooler.....

How do you spend millions of dollars developing functional autonomous operating vehicle technology, then deploy it with a shitty-assed camo scheme that looks like it was painted by third grader graffiti artist wannabes?

It is an amazing workload, but the even more impressive part of it is the Navy’s abilitytoctKe kids out of high school and turn them into the workforce that can run and maintain these ships.

It’s not as cool as “monkey” though

Absolutely correct.

It has nothing to do with bigamy. It has everything to do with documenting who you are though.
