yeah I see that but the experts are still debating whether or not it is adequate. supposedly the SeaRam is a missle system which is supposed to improve close in combat capabilities but it is still in development. the fact that they are working on several different systems and tieing them together I believe to be an admission that we are currently vulnerable to this kind of attack. It just takes one suicide boat loaded with explosives to take out one of our guys (uss cole) so i get nervous when i see our guys here on FR dismissing the Irnanian threat as a big joke, thats all
