I'd like to know how a ship is supposed to avoid being hit by a
wave-hopping, supersonic missile "steered" by a couple of guys via a
video camera on the weapon and a laptop computer. That's where anti-ship
missile technology is headed.

Why waste a perfectly good missile when you could do the same thing
with say, a radio controlled/GPS guided Parker ?


Your barge would hold a lot more explosives, and make a much more colorful
boom. Especially if you were on it.


Harry, you are in the area. Try to see how close you can get to a Navy
ship of any kind entering the Bay.


My brother, and my niece, have a great story about that.

It's highly amusing - especially the part about the .50 cals pointed
at him from some highly motivated sailors and Coasties. :)
