    Yeah, I’m guessing most of the crew on these ships are just excited to see the guns go off instead of being actually worried about an attack. It takes a lot to bring down a US warship.

    That said, I don’t recommend anyone try. Even if you do manage to take one out, the rest of the fleet will be coming after you. A US warship is rarely alone.

      It takes a ton of fucking balls or abject stupidity to even try. Legit the last time someone did actual damage to one of ours resulted in the entire Iraqi navy getting sunk in 8 hours and most of their naval infrastructure was destroyed.

      You don’t fuck about with the navy, any navy for that matter they’re home country will absolutely slap back.
