i’m confused. are they saying our current fleet of destroyers aren’t trying to be lethal? what have they been doing, shuttling baby formula and rice?

I have to say.. I like this slogan much better than USN.. Doing the most good. IIRC that was the slogan in their recruiting ad a few months ago.

I see them parking small buoy like missiles all over the place.

I have my issues with current naval strategy semicolon however, ships of ww2, for the most part, had much more close in fire power than ships of today have. We built FFGs, DDGs,CGs, and especially support ships that has very little fight in them inside of 5 miles. And yes I haven’t forgotten about the Phalanx.

In WWI it was clear that defense is better than offence when the German and British navies met. The British cruisers sank and the German ones did not as they had better armor. What has changed since then other than the fact we abhor casualties even more now than then? Can anyone show why defense shouldn’t be the priority.

In other words, let’s add more weapons to things that should already have had more weapons to begin with.

It’s about bloody time! Warships should look like warships and bristle with weapons. When you get into a fight at sea, you can’t have enough guns or missile to throw at the bad guys.

About bloody time someone said it! So what does that mean for the cargo haulers? 155mm foredeck guns?
