Read it again, dumbass. You insisted that "AEGIS" and "VLS" meant the
same thing. They don't. They also don't always go together. There
have been AEGIS ships without VLS and VLS ships without AEGIS.

So what? You claimed there was no VLS without AEGIS. You then
revised to there being no VLS firing Standard without AEGIS (and vice
versa).

You're still wrong. There have been AEGIS ships without VLS and there
have been VLS ships, firing both Standard and other missiles, without
AEGIS.

Both my parents are dead, you stupid ****e. My mother just died a few

And you're not only ignorant and stupid, you're apparently also
ill-mannered and insensitive.

Sort of a Renaissance ****head.
