I was onboard, we were passing in review for then Vice President George H. W.

Hence the rail gun, LCS, A-12,DD? Zumwalt, reduced fleet and air wing size in the face of Chinese Naval build-up, still no stealth capability on the carrier deck. Must I go on. What's with navy leadership and acquisition?

What a loss. With that gun the USA could put Naval gun fire 150 miles inland and reduce the number of expensive sorties in a sea attack. Why isn't this being explored?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402222242336231854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093295897241438289.post-90042363945809398532018-04-26T17:25:15.884+03:002018-04-26T17:25:15.884+03:00You are right, thank you so much for the correctio...You are right, thank you so much for the correction!
