WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Navy ships capable of shooting down ballistic missiles are being moved to the Sea of Japan, a Navy spokesman said. The USS Chaffee is one of two destroyers headed to South Korea for an upcoming ceremony. The USS Chaffee is one of two destroyers headed to South Korea for an upcoming ceremony. The move came as North Korea was preparing for an expected rocket launch next month. Later Thursday, Japan announced it was ready to fire on the rocket if any part of it enters Japanese airspace.

Looks like there’s going to be another unexplained malfunction.
Could this be the big test for Totus ?Biden was talking about
I always thought Biden was refering to a terrorist attack during the transition period.
Shoot it down!
Yes, but I'm afraid that the transition period for Marxist Obama will be a minimum of 4 years.
.
bttt.
They are probably better off letting it fly and collect telemtry data to see how far the Norks have progressed on their missile program. While shooting it down would be great and prove the systems capability, getting intel on their missile tech could prove more beneficial.
North Korea has been, IMO, the biggest threat to the US for a very long time. What’s Hillary going to do, send them a strongly worded letter? They have the bomb now, and they could level a number of countries just with their artillery. They are the greatest danger right now.
I think the USS Chaffee was one of the boats that coordinated and controlled the amazing feat of
the US shooting down a satellite that was full of
dangerous hydrazine fuel and due to hit earth.
That was about a year or two ago. Discovery Channel
had a special on it. An absolutely fantastic achievement.
Probably time for another “exercise” just to hone the skills. Although, they don’t have to shoot...unless
it looks like its going somewhere - which would be a first
for the DPRK.
No. Biden was referring to Obama having to give a speech without a teleprompter.
Pretty sure the TOTUS will order one of the destroyers turned over to No. Korea as a peace offering. It isn’t fair that we have better weapons than the Norks.
Just think positive thoughts. I firmly believe that Obama is serving the first 2 year term in US Presidential history.
It will be a strong bipartisan coalition that brings him down - many Democrats will join the effort!!
It would be ironic that they launch a missile at Alaska during a major volcano eruption as we are having periodically and the ash is preventing the use of any defensive measure.
At approximately 10:26 p.m. EST, Feb. 20, a U.S. Navy AEGIS warship, USS Lake Erie (CG-70), fired a single modified tactical Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) hitting the satellite approximately 133 nautical miles over the Pacific Ocean as it traveled in space at more than 17,000 mph. USS Decatur (DDG-73) and USS Russell (DDG-59) were also part of the task force.
What do you think might bring him down? The America-hating and Military-hating Marxist ideology? (Would Dems finally see that THEY lose property and rights too?)
Or, could it be that his horrific (and constant) lies catch up to him as our economy augers in?
Maybe the birth certificate thing?
Who would ever believe that we would welcome (so to speak, sort of anyway) a President Biden?

agreed.
