Yes - that’s what I meant. By the way, the British/Falklands war was going on about that same time (early to middle 80s). I know the Brits took a significant hit on one of their battle ships (i think maybe the only real threat the Argentians mustered during the conflict). Later, they made some design changes on their hull and wanted to test the difference. My understanding is they mounted a simulated hull at the end of the sled and “launched” a dummy missile at it. Real Myth Busters kinda stuff. Loved to have seen that.

Given the current state of things, the Brits could be back at it with Argentina. Our President hasn’t (won’t?) help things.
