We are so soft. I imagine that Captain is in deep. You cant let anything like happen on your watch. Why did not the automated systems retaliate???? Old sea dogs...what you think?

The CAPT probably is in deep, however, the ship looked like an LPD, which don't have the same weapons systems at Cruisers or Destroyers.

This is a Amphibious type of ship
USS ASHLAND (LSD 48) is an amphibious warfare ship designed to transport Marines and their combat gear throughout the world and then to launch and support assault landing craft and helicopters during amphibious operations against hostile shores.

Cause when you pull into port you shut down your automatic systems. Don't want the computer bagging a passings taxi cab, it tends to piss off the natives.
