Yeah he does use that phrase a hell of a lot.There you go with that Mk I eyeball bullshit! I guess you never served on a ship.

Yep! ROTC and all that shit. On ward, on ward, into the jaws of death, marched the 5000, or some such horseshit as that. Not to mention I am pushing a book about Airborne. 505th AIR, Ft Bragg, NC 1957, by God! The year of Sputnik and Russia and the USMC at Ft. Bragg, NC and their humiliation at Ft. Bragg during "Operation All American". Never forget the "Battle of Hay Street".

They carry missiles, a lot of them. Zumwalts will soon have rail guns with a range of 125 miles. Our largest ships ever, the Iowa class, had a range of 25 miles.

Adrimirable Rocky. I did my best to humor you. You honestly seemed like a likeable guy who wanted an honest and upfront conversation. I know for a fact that is what I have been seeking. I detest snidery and apologize for giving that opinion or attitude. You see, I believe that outside of the varsity playfield, unity of purpose is our greatest strength. The LCS, in my own opinion is not that boat with which we must all unite. Now you being an "unterwasser" sailor should know that. Forget the ROTC hazing and all that. If I had a nickel for every time someone said, "here doggy" I would be up to my ears in Doggieisms. The Zumwalt navy failed and failed miserably. Sailors with beards are not Popeye in any sense of the word. Popeye loved "Olive Oil" and that was that! Where do we, go from there? How about "Damn the torpedo's and full steam ahead"! How about lets take those cocksuckers out of the picture? How about if you do not like that. you certainly will not be fond of this? Have you even looked to the book I mentioned and if not why not? A group of Airborne types, overly confident of their strengths and they found the errors of their ways and built a lasting reputation. Kinda like a bunch of Navy pukes finding out their strength is in ashcans, not "tincans". Come on Tory, stand up and be counted! You are needed at the end of hostilities, not the beginning. That is why you make the BIG retirement bucks. .

First, I was not offered the opportunity to retire before I was forced out by the Clinton administrations screw ups.
Second, I have not posted anything in regard to the LCS. My brother is a training officer for the LCS squadron, so I know of the problems.
Third, I served on submarines, surface ships, and aircraft carriers all.
Fourth,my daughter is a US Army Cavalry officer and I have been a volunteer OP4 for the Army for 9 years.
Fifth, have a great Navy day!

Thank you "Skipper" Took awhile however we have arrived at an honorable destination. Does your daughter fly the Apache or Blackhawk? Send her my best and the same to you. Again, please read the book, The Brave Ones. You will enjoy and learn some Cav stuff also.

I didn't say "Air Cavalry". She is in the old fashioned Cavalry. The soldiers ride Strykers and she is a Transportation platoon leader, so she handles the trucks with the gear.

LCS Coronado suffers engineering problem on first deploym | NavyTimes
The littoral combat ship Coronado suffered an engineering breakdown on Monday, two months into its maiden deployment and is returning to port under its own power to get repaired. It is the fourth high-profile engineering calamity in a year to strike the beleaguered ship class, which has been dogged by combat survivability concerns amid all the engineering problems. The events have prompted the Navy's top officer to fast-track changes to the program currently being briefed to leadership.
I have to say the whole idea of a LCS seems pretty stupid to me. It has no armor to speak of, has all of this stealth tech but is pretty easy to see with the old Mk I eyeball, has limited close in weapons capability and for a ship that is supposed to be operating close to shore those all seem to be some pretty major weaknesses.
There you go with that Mk I eyeball bullshit! I guess you never served on a ship.
Ships are not built for survivability anymore. One can debate the merits of the decision because both sides have good points. A battleship can take repeated hits, but costs a million a day to operate. One of the biggest sea battles of WW2 was the battle of the Philippines, won by tin can destroyers and a few light carriers on sub duty against Jap battleships and heavy cruisers.lives up to its name.....,,.....all it does is break.

The Battle Cruiser (eggshell with a hammer) concept was proven a failure at the Battle of Jutland way back in 1916.

American:
6 escort carriers
3 destroyers
4 destroyer escorts
Japanese:
4 battleships
6 heavy cruisers
2 light cruisers
11 destroyers
Result was a decisive American victory.
Only validates my point further. In 2 weeks in Dec 41 Japan sunk or put out of commission every allied capital ship available in the Pacific using just air power.Battle off Samar, 1944Ships are not built for survivability anymore.

Ahhhh, if only it were the hulls that counted. I see you are ignoring the 168 aircraft the escort carriers were equipped with. Take away those airplanes and the picture changes dramatically don't you think?
Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.That's because it is still applicable.
In modern warfare ships are detected by radar before visual, whether from radar on a ship, aircraft, or shore based. Therefore the ship with the smaller RCS has an advantage, both in detection and track/lock.
Same with aircraft, any modern military radar will pick up another aircraft before it is in visual range. Lower RCS reducing the range of that detection, and limiting any link in the kill chain from track to lock to terminal that relies on RF detection is at an advantage.

So tell me again how a battleship will do in a war in 2020? By 43 they were nothing but floating shore bombardment platforms.
