One other thing. No pictures so far means Israel must have got that ship out of port and out of camera sight very fast all things considered. I'm real surprised nothing showed up yet. But if taken out in cover of darkness that would explain a lot. Also another problem is if that chopper was on the pad or not. If so that creates a huge problem especially if it caught fire and had magnesium components. Even without the magnesium it would make a much a mess as the missile hit did. The worst fire you can have on a ship is Class D.

I have wondered about the helo since the start of this, whether it was on deck or in its hangar and caught up in thie explosion.

At this point, my guess is that it was not, or things would have been worse...unless of course the missile was a near miss and ballistic shrapnel and pieces of the missile impacted the helo and it exploded, causing the damge to the ship.

Guess we will have to wait and see.
