Surprised the administration didn't put it under its infrastructure budget (NOT SURPRISED). One would think a combination of a railgun and lasers would be a very cost effective complement to the SM-6 family and each other; Even just the Hypervelocity round with a good seeker fuse would enhance protection. When one side gains the ability to wipe out dozens of vampires per attack per ship, they probably will win the naval battles. We don't want a war of attrition. They should have funded a few less LCS and Pulller/Montrose Pt. type ships in return for better weapons defense that can scale against threats.KevthePopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954864430787051029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438008.post-73538405663504746582021-06-21T10:40:20.298-04:002021-06-21T10:40:20.298-04:00Was further work on these in the Navy's unfund...Was further work on these in the Navy's unfunded wish list? They do gamesmanship with some of these things. The best example is the Navy requesting only 1 new DDG, knowing full well Congress will add the 2nd one. But that thinking is less likely on research on a new shell...Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407937272284904729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438008.post-13304246438884212222021-06-07T20:19:34.000-04:002021-06-07T20:19:34.000-04:00President Biden does not understand this stuff.......President Biden does not understand this stuff....<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438008.post-46726871161925491112021-06-07T15:53:14.336-04:002021-06-07T15:53:14.336-04:00madnessmadnessMMinWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791810228821770464noreply@blogger.com
