A week or two back, I saw where some Iranian vessel was violating the commands to stay clear of our vessels, so when our navy fired on it, they couldn’t hit it.
So many people thought it was incompetence on the part of the gun crews or design, but...most likely, they were firing shots to warn off a vessel. Those five inch guns can be pretty accurate.
Yup they are. No doubt lame stream pushed the ‘can’t hit a barn door’ trope.
