Things haved changed. A missile can shoot down a satellite
going 15,000 mph, yet you Keith steadfastly hold to the idea
that hitting a huge CVN doing 30 mph is very difficult.


An orbit is predictable. A seagoing vessel's course isn't. A
satellite can't change course 90º, a CVN can.


Dan, you're teasing me ;-).
So can fighter jets, Air-to-Air guided missiles work at
quite long ranges, such as the Pheonix, against evasive
(turning) targets, using 1970's technology.
