Back in the 80’s the Navy had a program for rocket boosted shells for BBs..maximum range was about 200 miles, which would have put about 90% of the world’s population within range. It was abandoned when they decision was made to mothball the BBs...they were too expensive to man and maintain.
The Navy doesn’t want to spend money on effective weapons.
Now the POS LCS ships. That is a project worth Billions!!!!
The air force is just as bad with the A-10 and F-35.
All the Tax payer money will burn a hole in the brass’ pocket off they don’t do something with it!
