That was the accuracy back in WWII. In Beirut they were hitting

But the main thing is it is very hard to sink a battleship. Most

missiles today will not penetrate there thick hide.
They don't have to penetrate the hull to disable the ship.
And can you explain how that might work?
The superstructure is still vulnerable.
That's where all the sensors, antenna, and weapons are located.
Take out the electronics and the ship is combat ineffective.
Dead wrong:
1. The superstructure is not vulnerable, it is 12 inches thick.
2. They carry spar and emergency antennas.
3. All they need is GPS and a data link with an AWACS to take out ANYTHING
in range.
