Coolest part, I'm pretty sure lately we're not just engaging Rs & Ms... UAVs/UASs/RPAs (aka drones) are being lit the F up in theater

Oh, for sure! I don't have first hand knowledge of current capability, but no doubt that it can/will continue to be used to defeat incoming airborne threats, MAJ. Let's buy more I say! Thanks for your thoughts.

Oh hell yeah!!! We called it R2-D2 on the Carriers I served on. Looked like a solid stream of water coming out of it.

Yes. I've heard that, and yes, it is a nearly solid stream of defense and freedom!

Worked fine for us, Sgt. maybe it's a Leatherneck "headspace & timing" issue.

Maybe you’re too young... it was the Navy’s nickname for the CIWS (aka Sea Whiz) i believe it was also called the Phalanx at one point.

Wave your hand if you’ve ever witnessed a Vulcan going off...
