Quote HistoryQuoted: But can the ship stop 100 cruise missiles, 1000? I'm sure the Chinese would like to know.90 The Chinese are already there. Their naval base in Djibouti is only 10 miles from ours. I'm pretty sure we're constantly monitoring them and vice versa. |

The kind of stuff you can make off of a YouTube video with some enhancements from some other nations. COTs radars and targeting systems. Wonder who learned to code? |

If a missile got close enough to have a Phalanx engage it, then why isn't all hell breaking loose? |

I hope there’s something I’m missing, because this is an essential navy function in 2024, the feat itself shouldn’t be newsworthy.

I had just read the article where the other missile was confused for a friendly (that killed 3 service members), so it was an assumption that the same thing happened with the Gravely. |
