Han (The Preble) shot first.
Who would win?
New Navy with line of sight laser weapon (3 mile range to horizon), or this smokey boy throwing 2,000 lbs of steel over the horizon.
That picture is the closest representation of what hellfire must be without entering nuclear territory. For sheer display of power, that is that, in my opinion.
They are sending so much hate that the entire ship was pushed sideways, look at the wake off the bow.
Quick, someone remind me which ship it was that was starting to sink so they just shoveled water to one side do they could extend the range of their weapons and effectively become an extra artillery team during WWII (was that the siege of Normandy?)
Sending *freedom.
FTFY
“Burn to oblivion. I have places to be.”
Probably the ship, if it was sentient.
If you don’t need accuracy, the Age of Sail beats this easily. This boy has 12 cannons, the Santísima Trinidad had 140.
A broadside must have been spectacular.
All of Trinidad’s throw weight is less than a single 16".
Trinidad Total throw. 1510lbs.
Missouri single barrel single shot weight. HE 1900lbs AP 2700lbs.
Total throw weight. HE 17,100lbs AP 24,300lbs and that’s ignoring all secondaries and AA and later added missiles. Missouri could throw the total weight all of Trinidads cannons themselves in a single broadside. Oh and that’s throwing it 24mi…
Fun fact: The US ha a Hellfire missile that doesn’t even explode. It’s meant to hit one person and kill them while limiting casualties in the proximity.

Ah yes, the knife gun.
Knife MISSILE, CIVVIE
So it’s essentially a rocket propelled
rockknife block?It is like a rocket propelled slap chop to one person that shouldn’t exist meaningfully to the horror of the person sitting next to them.
The laser is for drones or missiles. Missiles are used for ships, which outrange battleships by a large margin, hence why they’ve been phased out of service. One jet can sink a ship hundreds of miles from its carrier.
*If funded by the USA.
The US took out a third of Iran’s navy during Operation Praying Mantis and we tried not to while giving them ample opportunity to not get fucking wrecked with minimal effort.
We won’t fund healthcare, but our unhealthcare is second to nobody because we spend 9x more than the 2nd place loser, Russia. We account for 40% of total world military spending. If you think we can’t kill you, it is only because we don’t want to prove how wrong you are. If you want to die, we can put a warhead on your forehead without a rounding error of our defense budget.
What’s a DuckDuckGo Flight IIA Aegis Combat System Integration?
He will not divide us flag be like
When the ship suddenly goes ka … me … HA … ME
I just want nuclear pumped laser missiles, god, is it too much to ask?
I don’t know my ships, but please tell me that’s a destroyer to complete the scene perfectly.
You’re in luck.
That is, in fact, an Arleigh Burke class destroyer.
