I make my living in technology. And in the last 10 years I've been interested in the technology that the military uses, particularly in the USN as that is where I served. It is fantastic. Most people have no idea.
Something I just came across (everything I ever post here can be found on the web), was the new model launcher for the sea sparrow. It allows them to pack 4 missiles into one launcher tube. The Aegis class cruiser has 127 tubes. If they only use 80 tubes for surface to air that's 320 missiles they can use. In my day a DLG would be lucky to get off 2 terrier rounds. And radar and EW would be overwhelmed by more than 10 targets. The Aegis can track several hundred. Unreal stuff.
