Sub-Launched SAMs
Paul J. Adam ha scritto:
A semi-active laser system might be more effective for this role: for slow MPA and helicopters, something like Hellfire might be modified to suit. However, slow at periscope depth with a mast up is where you *don't* want to be against any sort of capable ASW opposition. and ASW helos is a good indicator of that "capable ASW" opposition" I guess that doing this stunt near an Italian Frigate in the Sicilian Canal is a sure method for starting an eternal patrol.... Best regards from Italy, Dott. Piergiorgio. |

Sub-Launched SAMs
"BlackBeard" wrote in message ... Can't quite put it away with the same enthusiasm/volume as I did in the old days though. I live in South Florida and would love to share a beer with any of the gang. That said, I never was never one of the Navy's great drinkers. Back then I suppose I was more of a chow hound than a drinker. While on the 599 boat I made it all the way to 260 pounds! I weigh 100 # less than that today. At midrats (when they put the fresh-baked bread out to cool) I remember my favorite snack was a whole loaf of fresh, hot, bread with an entire stick of butter stuffed inside. Today I shiver at the thought. Vaughn |
