So, did it have any bullets?


Yes. Don't recall how many.

We had several incidents where the OOD told the messenger &
the security detail to stand-to. Never had to fire any
warning shots though.

Another incident which was a big deal at the time, we were
in the Persian Gulf and had Iraqi jets flying overhead with
their fire control radars on... occasionally they would lock
on to us. A few of them we hit with the SLQ-32-V5 which was
a very powerful active electronics countermeasure
transmitter, a few times the Captain ordered the AA missiles
run out. I thought of this when the Stark got hit a few
years later.
