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. :)

Almost happened to me right here in my home port.
&%^$& 'merican nuke sub was docked at the Bonaventure Dock at the Shearwater
Naval Base... where my yacht club is/was.
I sailed right up to their little floatong barrier boom and a yankee sailor
came running out of a little hut armed with a weapon waiving me off.
If I didn't have the wife on board.......

Tom's wife is a bull****ter?

Um...excuse me?

Pay no attention. Something confused Jimh.

Ah - JimH pointing fingers again I assume.

Correctly.

So be iit.

SWS/Tom now posts here and other places under a dozen or so handles
as do Reggie, JohnH, Loogy, FLA Jim and Scotty. Even a scorecard will
not help you.

Pointing fingers to the wrong person? Eh?

Someone here stated that Dan was the culpri with the wife post. If
so.......I am disappointed. However......until Don chimes in I do not
accept the accusation.

The bottom line.............can folks her finally start to act like
the adults they are?

I can't speak for 'Dan', but Don is totally innocent of posting under any
handle other than Don White.

What I suspect will happen is that someday some assholes will launch one
of these new missiles at one of our capital ships, hit it, and sink it,
and *then* we'll have the sort of "missile crisis" that results some
years later in a new ship defense system. Defense systems tend to be
reactive.

We already had one of these incidents in 1987 with the Iraqis and the
USS Starke.
This wasn't really a high tech missile either, it was the Exocet, a
fairly crude subsonic cruise missile that managed 2 out of 2 hits on
the ship.



Good grief, man. That was in 1987 ..... 21 years ago. Technology has
changed a bit since then.

In addition, the main defensive weapon of its day ... the Phalanx close
in (last resort) system wasn't even turned on.

You also have to remember... small ships like the Starke are considered
to be expendable compared to an aircraft carrier.

Don't they call 'em 'picket ships' for a reason?
