Better to be shaken and shocked than simply stirred.

Daring will be able to track and destroy a target the size of a cricket ball traveling at more than three times the speed of sound, a "quantum leap forward in the Navy's capabilities"
That sounds fetched.

I hope they hurry up. Build them quickly... And sell us the anti-incoming/missle intercept system.
The new chinese "sunburn" missles really move...
To: Cornpone
I'm glad they're on our side! BTW, you have an excellent home page!

Sounds like the Philadelphia experiment! :o(

I thought I read a while back that we have 'portable' laser systems that can do that and that they would be deployed in Iraq in the near future.

A new anti-ballistic missile system is being installed on 18 US Navy ships.

Not that it matters, but isn't that about the radar cross section of an F-35?
Guess we better not get into a tiff with the brits. ;->

We still have one kind of ship which a sunburn would bounce off of, if our leaders had the brains to use them instead of making museams out of them.

Ours looks cooler.
Granted, ours (DDX) is still on paper...
To: Cornpone
Well, I like the Brits, they're our allies and all, but all the braggadocio upon launching this ship brings the Titanic to mind ... they're tempting fate.
To: bvw
Holy cow!

Still HMS Daring sounds a lot better than USS Carter.

Yeah, well they can say these things because the only thing that has kept them from military defeats over almost one hundred years is the finest military ever fielded by the greatest nation in the history of mankind.
