@poastoak it absolutely is, I don't really blame anyone for failing to intercept them, because identifying, classifying and reacting to rocket propelled shit isn't an easy task.
@sickburnbro Dont remember if Murphy is baseline 9 or not. Petersen should be. Even still, if they didn't have intel that the houthis had this capability they wouldn't have been looking and if you don't see it at launch you're probably not intercepting
@poastoak I'm thinking more on the short term. Navy is short on men, and keeping them deployed because Israel has put themselves in a pickle makes for a bad time
@sickburnbro Not a huge deal, we have a lot of BMD capable DDGs. Can just accelerate deployment cycle and send them independent of the CSG. Main concern would be how many of these ships are out there with SM2s in the tubes thay would normally have SM3 because of the C802 and drone threat
They held me onboard tied to the pier where I could see my house from the bridge for almost 3 months during the coof and learned absolutely nothing from it
@sickburnbro US HUMINT in current year +9 is dogshit. If the derka derkas weren't talking about it over a radio we probably didn't know they were going to do it until it was too late
