Sorry, I just went through this. There will be differences between witnesses, but there is a commonality in the descriptions that imply that *at least* one missile was identified. As I mentioned previously some witnesses are more reliable than others. There will always be some differences in descriptions.
Evidence for 6 missiles does nothing to refute the contention of *no* missiles. Surely you understand this?

If they were surfaced, there would be a minimum of 3 sailors in the sail. No one would be allowed on deck (except during manuevering watch in the harbor) because there are no railings and too much deck wash.
