  1. Microwave weapon – wager that’s like getting deep fried in a hurry. Instant EMP on target. Multiple guidance systems, of course. Don’t want to miss, even in cloudy or foggy weather.

  2. Sounds great. Maybe fully deployed by, say, 2036? May have to divery some dough from the Lunar Railroad project, though. And will it work against hypersonic missiles?

    It sounds like our navy is gearing up to fight against third world motorboat navies and their prop-driven aerial drones, instead of getting ready to fight peers such as Russia and China. But I guess I should be glad that our navy knows its limitations.
