Not at all! Drill holes in the roof of the cave, and launch missles vertically. For NGFS, just use GPS guided munitions. Those things can turn on a dime!
... and the more I look at those pics, the more I wonder if they are indeed pics of the ship after it was hit or not.
Notice the marks next to the small hole just forward of the helo deck which we think or thought is damage form the hit. That hole looks exactly the same size as the discharge hole forward of it at the water-line, making me think maybe that is a discharge hole with some staining, and not a damage hole at all.
Now, maybe the staining came from internal fires and maybe, in the first pic there is evidence of a hit on the helo deck. But not much, and it just makes me wonder if those pics are indeed strike pics or not. I guess we shall see.
Even if just the missile hit and the warhead did not detonate, I would expect much more evident damage. And, if was a near miss and still mission killed the ship and killed four sailors, I would still expect to see more damage.
What do you guys think?
