Most antiship 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. It was quite common during navel battles, WW II, for ships to be rendered unable to fight either offensively or defensively and not sunk. In fact, I believe that most large warships that were sunk were first damaged to the extent that they couldn't fight and then shelled until they sunk. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
