Ever witness an ASROC launch from 30' away?


Not that close, no thanks. But I have seen 'em go off. I've
also seen an ASROC launcher aimed point blank at a Russian
destroyer that was trying to interfere with UNREP ops.

I have watched a Mk 10 (twin-arm bandit) launcher a few
times, including a test of the dud ejector.

One of these:

Now to continue the game from earlier, how strong is the
wind in this picture?


22 to 25 kts

From which direction is it blowing?


From the stbd stern quarter



Is
the ship going upwind or down.


Down

For bonus points, what would
Bobsprit say it's VMG is?


18kts.
