there is no "unknown" tech that's going to get slapped on a surface warfare vessel in the timeframe they're dreaming of.


You may very well be correct.

Time will tell.
quote:

The only thing that makes sense for the LSC is to have the longer strike length VLS which can fit the big hypersonics but at that point we’re talking about an arsenal ship instead of what the navy originally wanted in distributed lethality. Railguns aren't going to be used.


I didn’t mention rail guns.

I said unknown tech.

Unknown…
quote:

How though?


In much the same way that a carrier group does.

Saber-rattling takes all forms, and can be quite effective at times.

Again, it depends upon its capabilities (which aren’t fully known at this time).
quote:

Just to clarify your argument: are you saying we should support a multi-billion-dollar program in the 11 figure range (per ship) based purely on hope that defensive capabilities have advanced enough to negate the risks being discussed


So for clarity, the U.S. military should all new tech through you before implementing anything?

My assumption is that we would not allocate that type of funding for WW2 era battleships.

My assumption is that the U.S. military would like to be on the cutting edge of advanced technology.

My assumption is that one battleship in the Atlantic and one in the Pacific would be priceless in a geo-political sense IF it has next gen capabilities.

The only issue is deoorting them to el salvador to be tortured.


So you are saying that the goal was to have them tortured (allegedly)?
quote:

Plenty of these people that weren't convicted of anything were sent to be tortured in a nation that has an antagonist relationship with their country of origin


Define plenty, and then provide actual evidence.
quote:

To think that a man accused of rape by several people and found guilty of rape cant possibly commit rape.


Your stupidity is astounding.
quote:

Who supports a president that protects pedophiles?


It’s whom you would support…for obvious reasons.
quote:

Due process is an integral part of that.


Foreign invaders are not deserving of due process.

If a foreign invader raped your wife or child, or killed your mom, would you still be so steadfast on your support of said criminal?
quote:

Im knighting for


criminality.

If you were all about the rule of law, you would have no issues with criminals being deported.
quote:

Also kinda weird that you dont think Venezuelans are Christian


The prisons are full of rapists and murderers that claim to he Christian.

Why are you knighting for rapists, pedos, and murderers?
quote:

The story reported 50% of those sent to El Salvador had not been convicted of any crime and 97% were not violent criminals


So they lied, manufactured data, and reported it as news?

I can’t imagine being dumb enough to buy into that data.

You do you though.
quote:

This is about Weiss (and new ownership) bending the knee to Trump.


So not being the Communazi News Agency is bending the knee to Trump? What a shite take.
Weiss is a known lefty.

quote:

The kind of North Korea type shite the poliboard used to go nuts over, now it’s cheered for.


I find your disconnect from reality to be quite fascinating.
Brian Stelter?

He is a known liar and propagandist.

That is whom you see as your beacon of journalism?
quote:

A battleship, big or small, doesn’t suddenly gain unique capability.


This is unknown.
quote:

I addressed this directly in that same post:


Partially, yes.

What I noted is that you don’t have any idea how much defenses have improved.

What if they have improved to a point that mitigates all that you noted?
quote:

Make your argument.


quote:

yet to be seen?


I’m not in skunk works.

I simply noted that you can’t assume based solely on past issues and concerns (legit that they were).
quote:

No one is assuming WWII loadouts. The assumption is that the same physics and economics still apply.


Physics…yes.

Economic…that depends.

We don’t know the capabilities.

quote:

Go on…


quote:

I did


You mentioned tech/military hardware that has yet to be seen?
