Whatever happens, it's negligible compared to the other damages resulting from a situation in which Exocets are regularly fired at USN vessels."Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master" - Commissioner Pravin Lal. -

Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment

The Odds of a Exocet or silkworm getting through an hitting an American large surface combatant are exceedingly low. This isn't the RN, where ships were deployed without adequete air cover or short range air defense. Or the IDF, where the crew of a Sa'ar turned off their air defense radar and got hit by a missile.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

Oh wait, you mean the Serb is surprised that a squared-aqay country did something before the Russkis again? Shocker.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment

Not really. During OIF we got shot at twice by Seersuckers, and they missed both times.Originally posted by Serb

As I was, it's a Chinese copy of a Russki missile, not a Russki missile proper.Originally posted by Serb

USS Long Beach. Sadly, the only nuclear surface vessels we currently have are aircraft carriers. Time was we had over a dozen of them.Actually, I've seen that pic before, iirc in HOI2 mod.

Good. But, I still don't get it. Is Seersucker a US Navy's nickname for Chinese NATO-designated "Silkworm" missile (which is the copy of Soviet "Termite" missile developed in 1950's?)Originally posted by Lonestar

So, I was correct when saying that Russian nuclear powered cruisers are the only in service?USS Long Beach. Sadly, the only nuclear surface vessels we currently have are aircraft carriers.
?Time was we had over a dozen of them.
From your article:
"USS Long Beach (CLGN-160/CGN-160/CGN-9) was a guided missile cruiser in the United States Navy. She was the only ship of her class."
You had other classes of nuclear powered cruisers?Comment

You never said that, you implied that the Russians were ahead of the game by possessing a few, but my point was that CGNs are "Old news" to the uSN.So, I was correct when saying that Russian nuclear powered cruisers are the only in service?
Sure. All decommissioned by '96 though.?

So, a couple of Iraqis Chinese made copies of Soviet ASM developed in 1950 missed your ships? Well, good for youOriginally posted by Lonestar
It's a nickname for a late-model Silkworm.. These weren't a modern Russian missiles, just like I thought.
Ok, ok.You never said that, you implied that the Russians were ahead of the game by possessing a few, but my point was that CGNs are "Old news" to the uSN.
So, nobody but Russia has nuclear powered cruisers NOW.Sure. All decommissioned by '96 though.
