“Hmmmm. I kind of think they should have started by putting the lasers on sharks, and then worked their way up to destroyers.”

Or ill tempered sea bass.

“I am going to guess that is going to remain classified, because revealing that would say much about the power and type of laser used.”

That is going to require a boatload of electricity.

Hell of a name for the next Arleigh Burke: DDG1701 USS GORT with "Barada Nikto" on her crest.

Did you know that the actor who played "Gort" was named Lockheed Lockard Martin?

Really? Didn’t know that. I did know that suit he was in took a lot of getting into and the actor was a professional wrestler and body builder type. He had to be. That whole get up was kind of bulky. “Klaatu barrada nikto!’’

One unfortunate ship’s command crew to take all the blame when the over priced system fails to live up to expectations.
