#1 60 caliber is all right, but I prefer 16-inch. Even better would be GMLRS launchers firing off a full salvo, accompanied by a half-dozen Navy jets dropping napalm. We'd need some kind of recce bird in place to verify the secondaries.

#3 Wonder if the navy has UAVs to act as foward spotters on destroyers. They used to do that on the big BB's

#6 THE US military launched a strike against a suspected al Qaeda target in northern Somalia on Friday...

Why? Because it is the right thing to do. Ninety percent of the articles posted at Rantburg have to do with the evil that mooselims are unleashing on the world. Most of the evil occurring in the world has islam at its root.

#9 "The destroyer's guns appeared to be targeting a single person, perhaps moving in a convoy..."

Didn't know you could snipe with five inch guns.

#10 Sure. 60 calibers of love. And to answer a query from yesterday, yeah it's the biggest left in the inventory.
