The phalanx gun will JAM ocassionally , and it only works for about
2-3 min, after that MAN OVER BOARD ... run for the Island .. the SHIP is going down
Thats the problem with these guns when you want them running they get stuck or run out of ammunition I guess can't depend on you most of time you only hope that you are fighting taliban with no Missiles -
See the problem with Missiles is sometimes , they go up as 1 item and when they reenter - you have to deal with 20-30 smaller missiles warheads - its very hard for anyone to determine which one is actually carrying the warhead.
And also having surface skimming cruise missiles , damn the waters in gulf are so calm that you can literally fly a cruise missile just 10 meters above sea level and it will clamly fly and all the way to the destination
The Iranian missiles will likely disable the carrier's runways , and the carrier will be useless, even if the radars on the carrier are knocked out it will be pretty much defenceless with its superb 1 km / hour speed
Or what if the Stealth Iranian UAV , managed to nose dive on a carrier's airfield , followed by 100 missile launches .. hmm I guess having stealth UAV was not part of the plan
YouTube- New Footage:Iranian UAVs monitoring US Navy in Persian Gulf
Also the gulf is such a narrow passage that the carrier fleet possibly can't runaway
Wonder if Israel will take out a carrier just to start WW4, would not be suprised if they did do another Liberty incident
I mean the carrier fleet needs to have constant air patroling , otherwise if the runaways are disabled all those 40-50 planes on deck are useless ...
Hmm wonder what else Iran has up their sleeves
lol, AZAD if I didn't know any better I would say you have a crush on the Iranians.
