The anti-American fake news main stream media created this false narrative, we are loaded. Part of that 200 Bn request it to refill the magazines that we are currently using as well as backfill the stocks that we gave Ukraine and never refilled

Bud...he was asking where the Iranians are getting their missiles from. We were told they were running low and didn't have the ability to launch more missile attacks. It seems every day that myth is shattered.

But on the topic of the thread, excellent performance by our navy defending themselves and a very important naval asset.

Wonder if any have gotten close enough to the carrier to be taken out by R2D2’s or Rolling Airframe Missiles or Sea Sparrows?

So what is in the water tank besides the gun, just ammo?

I thought is might be some type of coolant or something but it looks like that barrel is still smoking hot after firing.

How much ammo before reload?

Thank you all for your service.

Probably all of them by ESSM. Most common platform and the the most reliable for long range vampire elimination

Yes, you violent fascists just murdered another woman in Wisconsin for being a Trump supporter.

You liberals are still whining about the two terrorists ICE killed in Minnesota.

You Democratic Party Nazis were cheering the dead bodies of American service people the other day. CHEERING!

Speaking of Warthogs, this is an interesting video. The USN is badass in open waters but in the Strait Hormuz, the confined corridor is problematic. They ended up calling the USAF to send the A-10s.

The A10 Thunderbolt is the brrrrrrt of the skies. The Aegis / Phalanx turret system is the brrrrrrrrt of the seas.

It's freshwater and used to clean it of salt spray, powder residue and, yes, to dissipate heat.

It shoots 75 rounds per second and a typical load is 1550 rounds. It can take 20-30 minutes to reload.
