““battleship admirals””

The US has no active battleships.

If you have the first missile going off due to a salvage fuse, what effect would that have on the second weapons salvage fuse, and so on and on?

I could see the first explosion exploding the one behind it, and the one behind that, etc.

I think those salvage fuses need some major safety tests...

Looked more like “Rods from God” than aircraft-delivered ordinance. But what do I know?

The pilots in WWII would be soooo envious.

The Germans: "Meh."

Fritz X, Basically The Germans Created The World’s First Cruise Missile.

In the video it appeared to go right through the ship. From that height, it doesn’t even need to explode. The kinetic force would snap a ship in two.

Exactly. I doubt we're getting the whole story of what's going on in that video.
