My old ship is now the test platform for modern weapon technology. They tested a laser system quite a few years ago.

Here's a quick reference.


Not sure if there's a public video of the laser test shoot, but it took out a missile shot successfully.

Found one. Six years ago it was public. I'm sure it's one of many available choices now.

Sitting in a trailer drinking all day, on the internet trying to provoke people, parroting bullchit, it's a pathetic life you live trying to impress the other forum kids how tough you are.

Why don't you quit worrying about my life and mind your fug'n business you drunk old fool.

You should do the world a favor, fall off a boat in very rough seas and disappear. I'm sure that scraggly old beard of yours that looks like a floor mop will drag you under never to seen again. The crabs will be able to feast on your fat a$$ for a very long time. The world will be a better place and nobody will miss ol' "Whisky Jack".

I understand why you are relegated to cut & paste.

You need to be more understanding of boomer culture. They are used to having their information delivered to them via Walter Cronkite or the like on the 6:00 news.

Having to actually go actively locate information is not something a Bonner is going to do.

Yeah, but the older I get, the later 6PM is. I'd rather have it at 5PM and be off to bed by 6.

Not really. NONE of their armaments (to include conventional warhead Cruise Missiles) have the capability to penetrate their armor and all the IOWA class BB's were equipped (when they were brought out of mothballs in the 80s) with modern missile defenses (CIWS comes to mind). So yes, to your point they are not your grandad's Tin Cans, but ....



Iowa class were for their time😏 the schizz.

Sure wouldn’t disrespect them, it was more about the awesomeness of the ABs.

How armored were the decks of those battle ships?


Mentioned how proud most countries would be of an Arliegh Burke, they would be at least as proud of an 80 year old Iowa in its updated form. Most couldn’t support either.

Designed to withstand up to 2K armor piercing bombs. Main belt was 12" nickel-chrome steel.
